"Hey," said Mark."That looks pretty good." Landie tried to stick her tongue out at Mark."This isn't working," said Landie as she picked hair out of her mouth. "I know," said Landie.I'll tie it in.Landie found some purple sting.She tied the string to her left ear.She tied the other end to her right ear. "String face!" yelled Mark."Purple string face!

"I know what!" yelled Landie."Ow,"said Mark."That hurt my ears." Landie put a piece of Big Gum in her mouth. She chewed,and chewed,and chewed.Then she chewed some more.
