The Bear/Cow Game

One lunch time, the Recess Gang were “using their imagination” on their lunch. CJ made the word “A-Wors” out of fish sticks. Russ had brought a bagged lunch from home. He had brought cheese on crackers. Just then, Floyd Rickshaw came by, stole Sesame Boy’s sesames and pushed him down to the ground. This angered Russ, so he pushed Rickshaw down to the ground, which made him cry. Mr Boyd then sent all 3 of them to Principal Prickly’s office.

While there, Russ apologised to Sesame Boy for getting him in trouble. Sesame Boy said that he had had cheese on crackers, which was Russ’s favourite as well. Just then, Lieutenant Rimple came in and was about to tell Russ off for knocking Rickshaw down, only for Sesame Boy to point out that Rickshaw pushed HIM down first. Just then, Sesame Boy’s father, Lieutenant Paul DaMaise came in and it was revealed that Sesame Boy’s real name is Charlie DaMaise and that their dads were enemies. They both forbade their kids from being friends.

After school, at Morrison’s, Russ explained that both their dads were always against each other ever since they both worked in a zoo. Russ’s father took care of the bears, while Sesame’s father took care of the cows. Lieutenant Rimple accidentally let a bear loose and it killed one of DaMaise’s cows and he had declared Rimple his enemy ever since without thinking. The Recess Gang left Russ alone, then Morrison gave Russ a fizzy peach drink and said it was from Sesame Boy, who said that it’s OK to be friends THERE since they’re not at school. Russ saw that Sesame Boy was looking at an activity book about cows, so he pulled out an activity book about bears. They did the activities together and Sesame pointed out that because of their similarities, they were probably DESTINED to be friends and then suggested that they would pretend ton be enemies at school, then they would meet at Morrison’s after school. This worked for a while, until Russ’s friends noticed one lunchtime. That night at Morrison’s, Russ’s friends noticed again. Greta concluded that if their dads caught them, that they would be in big trouble, hence the secrecy. CJ came up with an idea to unite the two dads.

She called the dads pretending to be a spy and got them to meet in a park near 98th Street School. They met and began to argue. CJ began to talk them through, but then they heard their sons arguing. They told their sons off, but then the sons rebelled saying that being friends is better than being enemies, that just because the DADS hated each other, doesn’t mean that their SONS should do the same and they with them being friends, the fathers would see a lot more of each other, which they accepted. But then they started arguing again. At least it was a start.

The End.
