A/N I do not own Richard Brook or Jim Moriarty (I'm not sure if I had to list both), Although I now own all rights to the name Fred now. New episodes of Story Time with Richard will hopefully come out every week!
Alright now! It's story time with me- Richard! Today's story is called "The Brown Jelly Beans". Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Kim. Kim had a bag full of jelly beans, but she had eaten all of them except for the chocolate and coffee ones. She didn't like the chocolate or coffee ones.
Now Kim wanted to get rid of all the coffee and chocolate jelly beans, so she told Fred, who liked the chocolate jelly beans, that every time he tricked someone into eating a coffee jelly bean, he would get to eat a chocolate bean.
So the next day on the bus, Fred went from person to person, holding out a jelly bean in both hands and telling them that one of beans was coffee and the other was chocolate. All the kids on the bus wanted to eat the chocolate jelly bean, but because both of the jelly beans were brown, none of them knew which was which.
Fred was a very clever boy, and he knew which bean each of the children would pick each time, and so would put the coffee jelly bean in that hand. Eventually, Fred tried to trick Cheryl. Cheryl was very clever, and when Fred explained to her how how he had chocolate jelly beans in one hand and coffee jelly beans in the other, she was very eager to play the game.
Cheryl looked at each of the jelly beans, and decided to grab the one in Fred's left hand. She was just about to eat the jelly bean when the bus driver decided that the game had gone far enough and took away all the jelly beans. He took away the jelly beans from Cheryl and Fred, and told them to stay still and quiet.
Kim watched this from the sidelines, and was very amused. She had gotten rid of all of her jelly beans, watched the other kids eat all the coffee jelly beans, and she wasn't in trouble! What a wonderful idea to do this!
Alright then, that's it for today's episode. Next week, I'll be sharing "The Two Mailmen". Jim Moriarty looked into the crowd of beaming children and grinned.
