His mom and dad had [0:10] Speaker 1: put up banners and streamers and balloons. He'd had his [0:15] Speaker 1: gifts from them and now he was waiting for all [0:18] Speaker 1: his friends to turn up. A birthday party wasn't really [0:22] Speaker 1: a birthday party unless you spend it with all your friends, right? [0:27] Speaker 1: They could play games and have fun. and the weather [0:30] Speaker 1: was great, bright and sunny, so they could go and [0:34] Speaker 1: play in the yard. The doorbell let out a ding-dong, [0:39] Speaker 1: and Bobby went running and threw the front door open. [0:43] Speaker 1: On the other side of the door were all of [0:45] Speaker 1: his friends, kids from the neighborhood and from school, crowded [0:50] Speaker 1: around with presents. They all began to sing, Happy birthday [0:57] Speaker 1: to you. and a big smile beamed on Billy's face. [1:03] Speaker 1: You all came, he cried happily. Bobby's friends piled in [1:08] Speaker 1: his house, and each one gave him their presents. Bobby [1:12] Speaker 1: made a big pile with the presents and said once [1:16] Speaker 1: they'd played outside and had cake, he'd go in and [1:19] Speaker 1: unwrap them. All of the kids went outside and chased [1:23] Speaker 1: each other around and played games. Boy, this was going [1:27] Speaker 1: to be Bobby's best birthday ever. His friend Sherman had [1:32] Speaker 1: a paper crown on, going around saying, I am the king. [1:37] Speaker 1: You all must do what I say. Let's get out [1:41] Speaker 1: the trampoline, and on it we will play. Bobby, Sally, [1:46] Speaker 1: and Teddy, two kids from Bobby's school, all pulled the [1:50] Speaker 1: trampoline from the corner of the yard, huffing and puffing [1:54] Speaker 1: as they yanked the metal frame out. Boy, it was heavy. [1:59] Speaker 1: Bobby hadn't had the trampoline out for almost a whole year. [2:03] Speaker 1: He sure hoped it was okay to jump on. Before [2:07] Speaker 1: he knew it, kids began piling onto the trampoline and [2:11] Speaker 1: jumping up and down. There were three kids, then four, five, six. [2:18] Speaker 1: They kept coming until the trampoline was completely full. They [2:22] Speaker 1: jumped up and down, up and down, all at the [2:26] Speaker 1: same time. Suddenly, as they all hit the trampoline and [2:30] Speaker 1: went up, an odd rumble rippled through the ground. Everyone [2:35] Speaker 1: looked at one another as everything began to shake. What [2:41] Speaker 1: was happening? Then, as all the kids on the trampoline [2:45] Speaker 1: bounced on its springy surface, the whole ground beneath the [2:49] Speaker 1: trampoline gave way with a crash. Oh, no! The trampoline [2:54] Speaker 1: sank into the ground, and all the kids on it [2:57] Speaker 1: shouted in shock. But the ground underneath hadn't sunk into [3:02] Speaker 1: a hole. It had given way to a secret slime pit. [3:07] Speaker 1: All the kids jumped off the trampoline and looked down [3:10] Speaker 1: into the slime pit. Whoa, said Sherman, wearing his paper crown. [3:18] Speaker 1: Look at all the colors. The slime curdled in bright [3:22] Speaker 1: pinks and greens and blues. It was just like a [3:26] Speaker 1: big pool of the slime you could buy at the store. [3:30] Speaker 1: Sally stuck her hand in the slime and said, ew, [3:35] Speaker 1: it's so, so, so slimy. All the kids laughed hard. [3:42] Speaker 1: Sherman laughed the hardest. Boy, that Sherman could be annoying. [3:47] Speaker 1: So Sally put her hand in the slime and pulled [3:49] Speaker 1: out a big, purple handful and threw it at Sherman. [3:54] Speaker 1: The slime flew through the air and went splat right [3:58] Speaker 1: in Sherman's face. Everyone started to laugh. Kids were holding [4:03] Speaker 1: their bellies with laughter as Sherman slurped the goo from [4:07] Speaker 1: his face. Sherman held a finger in the air and said, one, two, three, four, [4:14] Speaker 1: I declare a slime war. All the kids dunked their [4:20] Speaker 1: hands in the slime pit and started to throw the [4:22] Speaker 1: gross goo at one another. Bobby grabbed two handfuls of [4:27] Speaker 1: slime and threw it at the Thompson twins from the [4:30] Speaker 1: end of the block. He got them perfectly on the chest. Splat! Splat!
