Unit1 Pie-Eating Contest
The school band had to raise money for their annual field trip. Some years they had a garage sale, some years a bake sale. This year they were going to do something different. They were going to have a pie-eating contest. Everyone paid five dollars to enter the pie eating contest and the person to eat the most pies won a prize!
Thekids at school called Joe “Piggy”. It was not very nice. They called him Piggy because he could eat more than any other kid. When Piggy heard about the pie-eating contest he was sure he could win. He paid his five dollars.
When thejudge yelled, “start”, everyone had 15 minutes to eat pies. Joe started withapple pie. Then he had a blueberry pie, and then another apple. By his fourth pie he was feeling full, but the boy next to him was already finished with his fifth.
He had to keep eating. The time was running out. He stuffed down a custard pie and then two more blueberry pies all within five minutes. Just in time to win the contest.
