The boys worked on the stanowar everyday that they could and enjoyed spending quality time with one another doing something that they both liked…..
When Ford and his brother arrived at the beach the first thing they did was check on the stanowar. After assessing that it was in the same condition they that had left it in the last time they worked on it, Ford sat
down in the sand and started tinkering with a part of the boat that he last worked on. He expected Stan to sit down next to him and start working on the boat too, but instead of sitting down Stan just stood in
front of the boat looking back and forth over the beach while using his hand to shield his eyes from the sun. " Hey aren't you going to work on the boat?" Ford asked " You were so eager to come to the beach while
we were at school." Stan turned and looked back at Ford, " Yeah but while we were walking here I decided that I really should get some work done on that history project, Mary agreed to come here to work on it
and it wouldn't be fair of me to drag her grade down because I was being lazy, plus Mary would kill me if she came all the way here and we didn't get any work done" Stan said. Ford smiled, " I'm proud of you
Stanley, you are actually making a very responsible decision." Ford really was proud of his brother whom he so often found making reckless and irresponsible decisions, it was nice to see him make a responsible one
for once. Stans only response was a grunt but Ford caught a slight smile before Stan turned back around to look out on the beach. After a few more minutes of tinkering Ford heard Stan call out "Hey look there's
mary!" Ford put down what he was working on and stood up next to Stan. Following the direction of Stan's finger he caught sight of Mary. She was holding a large pile of books and was slowly trudging her way
through the sand over to them. "Maybe we should help her." Ford suggested. "yeah , she looks like a fish out of water here!" Stan chuckled. They ran up to Mary and offered to help her carry her book. "Thanks,"
Mary said "I thought I was going to drop everything!" When they got over to the boat they set the books down inside of it so they wouldn't get ruined by the sand. "So," Mary said looking at the boat, "this is what
you guys are always working on out here." Stan smiled proudly, "Yeah, when we found it, it was all broken down so we decided to fix it up all by ourselves!". Mary looked at the boat again and smiled "That's
impressive" she said. Stan beamed all the more after she said that. After a few moments of awkward silence Ford cleared his throat. "Well i'll leave you too to work on your project, if you need me i'll be sitting over
there tinkering" Ford said as he pointed to a big rock not that far away from the boat. As Ford walked away he heard Mary start discussing with Stan about their history project, something about Alexander Hamilton
and Aaron Burr. When he got to the big rock and sat down he looked over at Stan who seemed to actually be interested in the conversation he was having with Mary. Maybe working outside on the beach by the
stanowar was good for Stan. I'll have to try that next time we have to study for a test Ford thought. Also ford noted,after Mary expressed interest in the stanowar, Stan seemed a little more excited to work with
her than before.
