SEVEN
Maggie and Betty are gambling. They’re neighbors. They teach in the same school and it’s school vacation. Maggie has a car and she said to Betty, “Come with me! We are going gambling! If we win, we will spend it!”
Betty says,” Let’s go gamble. We can make more money that way.”
It’s going to be their lucky day. It’s going to make them real rich. They’re going to walk away with a big bag of money. Then they’ll go out and have a special dinner. They’ll buy a large steak and lobster and a bottle of wine.
They’re saying,” Good shot!” They’re yelling, “Hooray!!”
They’re both going to get new outfits.
They’re going to get a shiny red Ford. Well, they’re the cheapest. They’re going to be a little bit prudent because they don’t have that much money.
They’re going to share it with their husbands. They’ll get in trouble if they don’t. They’ll get on the phone and call them and say, “Guess what?! We just won two million dollars!! You can have half.”
They won’t go back to teaching. I doubt it.
They’ll find a better job. A special clerks job in a very fancy store, or they can open one. It will have fancy jewelry. They’ll have some money left after they go to Hawaii.
The store will be named SEVEN!
