Vocab Story

This parable is about two young twin brothers full of mischievous malice, who were a paradigm of little brothers everywhere. In their front yard they had a palisade extending from the front of their house. On occasion when people walked under their front door they would feel a fusillade of cascading water fall on their head. Of course every time this happened there would be to identical boys standing on top of the temporary patio. Many a time would the brothers older sister’s boyfriend feel a malaise after eating one of the boys homemade sandwiches “made specially for him”.

One day the patriarch of their family decided to put his foot down. The father was tired of coming home to malodors coming from the twins rooms and constant sibling rivalry between the two boys and sister. Yes, the father had decided to send them to a boot camp over the summer; for once in their lives the boys seemed actually terrified. No matter what the boys said the father would not change his mind. Until one day the sister decided she could get something out of this whole mess, the sister decided she would help convince the father not to send the boys away on two conditions, they would no longer call her anything along the lines of “maladroit” and never enter her room again. After careful consideration the boys agreed, and with just a few minutes of talking with their father the sister had convinced him to keep the boys out of boot camp.
