big smile came on Mr. Longhouse’s
face.
“Aren’t you kids the Rockets?” he
asked. “I’ve been following your
teams’ progress on TV. Your
team might even win the soccular
championship at the Harvest
Festival this year. You kids are
real good! What can I do for
you?”

This has been the teams’ clubhouse for
quite a while and we sure hate to see it
torn down,” said George.
Well, to tell you the truth, I have a
little soft spot in my heart for the old
shack myself. I lived in that old shack

swimming hole right over there.”

want,” said Bruno.
“I think I’ll take you up on that. The

house all by myself. So if I do this for
you, you have to promise to come visit.”

The very next day everyone met
down at the shack. They painted
