ask questions about the things they want to
know about their surroundings and life. But also
to my Mom, HI MOM!

5. One day, George and Mr. Cruz are
planning to recycle their old used materials,
so they began, but suddenly George , pretty
much just kept asking.
Well after all, he’s just a kid.

6. So Mr. Cruz
asked for a box to
put all the materials
in.
George asked,
“A square or
rectangle?”
“Rectangle may
do,” Mr. Cruz replied
.

7. Then George asked once more “Old or
new?”Then Mr. Cruz had in mind “ It’s going
to be a long day” (Sighs…)

8. So the dad listened and listened…, he
said “An old box would do…”
Well you know the agenda, George asked
again.

this story, please don’t credit me for this

Hans: “I should not even be credited for this
just because I helped in his spelling and
grammar in the story. But I’m good friends
with the author.”

14. Lanz: “I got my inspiration of the story from
shy people because I don’t just see their
shyness in their faces , but I can see that they
want to know many things in the world, but
they don’t have the courage to ask. So I hope
that this story can help them in any little
way.”
