Samuel woke up really hungry. He went downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal: Chuka- Chuka-Chuka-Chuka-Chuka-Chuka-CHOMP! Then he said, “mom, can I please have some more?” “yes,” said his mom. “you are a growing boy and you need to eat.” So Samuel’s mom gave him another bowl of cereal, two milk shakes, and a stack of pancakes. Samuel ate it all really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP!

Then Samuel said, “I am still hungry. Could I please have some more?” “yes,” said his mom. “but I think this will be enough.” So Samuel’s mom got out a really big salad bowl, filled it full of cereal, and gave him two milk shakes, three stacks of pancakes, and a fried chicken. Samuel ate it all really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP!

Then Samuel said, “I am still really hungry: could I please have seven fried chickens?” “seven fried chickens!” yelled his mom. “enough is enough! Nothing more to eat until lunch! Go out and play.”

Samuel went outside and rolled around in the grass yelling. “starving! Starviiing! Help! I’m starving!” Samuel’s little brother came running outside. He said: “Samuel if you are so hungry, why don’t you go to the pie-eating contest? There is one at the fair in the park.”

So Samuel got on the bus and went to the park.

Samuel walked right into the middle of the pie-eating contest and said, “give me pies.” A judge looked at Samuel and said, “you are just a little kid! Go home.”

A fireman, a lumberjack, and a construction worker were sitting at a long table. “it won’t hurt to let this little kid eat a pie.” So Samuel climbed on a chair and the judge gave everybody one blueberry pie.

The judge yelled, “one, two, three, eat!” and they all ate their pies really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP! When they were done, the lumberjack said, “oh, my tummy hurts.” He turned purple and fell under the table.

The judge said, “Samuel, the was excellent eating. but surely you are done! You are just a little kid.” Samuel said, “I am not starving anymore, but more pies still sounds like good idea.” So the judge gave everybody two peach pies. He yelled, “one, two, three, eat!” and they all ate their pies really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP! When they were done, the fireman said, “oh, my tummy hurts.” He turned green and fell under the table.

The judge said, “I don’t believe this!” he gave Samuel and the construction worker each three cherry pies. He yelled, “one, two, three, eat!” and they all ate their pies really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP! When they were done, the construction worker said, “oh, my tummy hurts.” He turned blue and fell under the table.

“amazing!” said the judge. “Samuel wins first prize! Samuel wins the prize pie!” Samuel took his prize pie, got on the bus, and went back home…

For lunch. When he walked into the kitchen, his mom said, “Samuel, I know you are really hungry, so I made you pies for lunch.” ‘pies?” said Samuel. “Ahhhhhh- my tummy hurts.” He turned green and feel under the table. But Samuel’s little brother said, “YUM! PIES!” and ate the pies really fast: Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- Chuka- CHOMP!
