Meet Derek

Once there was a 16 year old boy named Derek. One day he went to a park on his bike. He rode up and down on the skateboard ramp, and raced around the park. At about two, he decided that he was hungry. He looked in his pockets an found that he had three pound fifty ($4.00) He walked over to a Frankie's Fish And Chips and said to Frankie "Ho, Frankie! I'd like some nice greasy fish and chips please!" Now Frankie was Greek, and he stood nose to nose with Derek and shouted "You no have fish and chips!Is past one o'clock and I clean and close now!" Derek said, "But I'm so HUNGRY!" He should have known not to argue with a Greek, for in a few minuets he was sitting on the pavement, a boot shaped mark on his seat. Derek got up and saw a bakery nearby. He went in and asked the lady  at the counter, "What can I get for three pound fifty?" The lady answered, "I have a nice roll that I can give you, only 5 days old, and I cand scrape off all the mold, and a donut that I dropped on the floor, and accidently stepped on, but I can brush it off, and it'll be as good as new." By this time, Derek was feeling very hungry, and said, "Ill take those, but do you have anything I can drink?" The lady said, " I can give you a nice bottle of green juice,, and on top of it all, Ill give you a currant cookie that I ran out of currants, and used flyes instead, but it's still very good." Derek gave her his money and downed the food, and then drank all the green juice, and asked, "Could I have some more of that green juice?" The lady stared at him in horror, and than said, "Of course not! Thet was my flower water that went a little slimy!" Derek groaned,  and then ran out and back to the park, where he was sick, and then went home, as miserable as a bug.
