Annabelle's New Game

Annabelle, the Apatosaurus, decided to make up a new game called Tail Soccer! How should you play, she thought to herself. Meanwhile, her big brother Allen had invited over his girlfriend, Susan the Stegosaurus who didn't like Annabelle at all. Annabelle came into the room and asked Allen "Why is Susan here?" Annabelle wanted to hurt Susan but she knew it was not right. Besides she needed to ask Allen if she could use the phone to call her friends. He said, "yes, but be quiet!" So she did as she was told.

She called her friends Mark, Jane, Emily, and Trent. She thought of one more friend, Login! When they all were there Annabelle explained how to play tail soccer. "You can only use your feet and tail", she said. She also asked, "Do you know how to play soccer?" "Yes", they all said. They decided to challenge Susan, Allen, and their friends to a game. They said, "sure". Susan took Allen to the side, she said "we can beat those kids big time!" In the last quarter, the score was three to three but Annabelle scored a goal with her strong tail. Annabelle's team won the game! After the game Annabelle and her friends ate yummy snacks of palm leaves. That was Annabelle's favorite food!

At the end of the day Annabelle and her friends soaked in the lake! Because as you know all Apatosauruses love to go to the lake. So they played tail soccer three days straight! One day an Allosaurus came to try and eat Annabelle, Mark, Jane, Emily, Trent, and Login! But Annabelle's mother scared him away by smacking him in the stomach with her tail. As all Apatosauruses do when trying to protect themselves and their children!

Tail Soccer was a great game for all Apatosauruses.
