ABC'S OF SPORTACUS
A IS FOR APPLE
Stephanie got up early the next morning to start work on her homework assignment. She bounded into the kitchen and scanned the counter for a snack. She knew that she should have a good breakfast but not today. She spied a basket full of fruit on the kitchen table and grabbed an apple. Stephanie took a bite of the crunchy red apple and sat down at the kitchen table. "Hmm" Stephanie said as she was tapping her pencil to her lips. "What could A stand for? " she scribbled down a few words. Airship,autopilot , Stephanie thew down her pencil and started to pace. "I thought this was going to be easy" Stephanie said outloud as she took another bite of the apple. "Mmm this is great" and then as she looked at the round tasty,crunchy apple it occured to her. "APPLE!" Stephanie said as she laughed and started to write on her pink notebook paper.
A is for apple, the sportscandy of life. An apple a day will keep Robbie Rotten away. "Robbie Rotten, hmm "Stephanie said as she continued to write the story of Sports Day. The more Stephanie remembered Sports Day the more she smiled about Sportacus.
She remembered how confident she felt that they as a team would win Sports Day. How Sportacus took time out and helped each one of them to stretch and to get ready to win. Stephanie remembered sitting on the fence with Sportacus as he told them about apples. How he did an amazing feat and brought an apple down and gave it to her. Stephanie blushed a little as she continued to write.
Then a slight frown crossed her face as she remembered how she felt when Robbie somehow managed to give Ziggy a candy apple and Sportacus had a complete melt down. She still could feel his hands holding hers as she gave everyone something to do. Her and her friends that day came through for the town and for Sportacus. She smiled when she remembered the look in his icelandic blue eyes as she gave him a bite of a juicy red apple. How amazing it was to watch him jump back up and win the race.
"Apples are the sportscandy of life" Stephanie wrote again as she closed her notebook and reached for another apple. "On second thought" Stephanie said outloud "I will grab two". With that she headed out the door to complete her resesarch on Sportacus.
As she walked down the sidewalk and headed to her favorite park bench, she ran into Sportacus. "Hey Stephanie, how are you today?" Stephanie looked up from her writings and smiled. She reached into her pink backpack and handed him a big red crunchie apple. Sportacus took the apple from Stephanie and smiled. He took a big bite of that delicious apple and said "You know Stephanie apples are the sportscandy of life."
