The Ol' Maple

We played soccer in school today. Except, we didn't waste time with nerf balls in PE, this was REAL soccer. Meaning we kicked a bottle cap around at lunch. Anyhow, after an exceptionally high kick, the cap went sailing into the air and hit a nearby maple tree. As it teetered and tottered, at the tips of destruction, someone called the fire department. This was so if the maple might fall and strike a match, the fire department would be there to put out the fire. I still can't believe it, but the buzzing truck of the fire department got here just in time; the tree was tipping, the ground was shaking, and hooray! They grabbed a ladder, leaned it against the tree, one firewomen climbed up and retrieved the bottle cap, and the tree was restored to its natural, sturdy position. Unfortunately, now we can only kick nerf balls around.

Moral: Don't steal from your friends!
