It was a horrible, stinky, rainy day. Some rainy days are fun and exciting, but not this one. This one stunk. All the children were wet and wore smelly raincoats. The whole room smelled awful.

"Ooooh, it stinks in here," said Maurecia.

Everybody laughed. But she was right.

There was one good thing, however. There was a new boy in class. New kids are always fun. Except no one could even tell what the new boy looked like. He was completely covered by his raincoat.
56"Class," said Mrs. Jewls. "I\'d like you all to meet Sammy. Let us show him what a nice class we can be."
Leslie walked up and smiled at Sammy. But her smile quickly turned into a frown. "You smell terrible," she said.

"Leslie!" exclaimed Mrs. Jewls. "That\'s no way to greet a new member of our class." Mrs. Jewls wrote Leslie\'s name on the blackboard under the word DISCIPLINE.

"But he does, Mrs. Jewls," said Leslie. "He smells awful."

"You\'re ugly," Sammy replied.

"Now, Sammy, that\'s no way to talk," said Mrs. Jewls. "Leslie\'s a very pretty girl."

"She\'s ugly," said Sammy.

Allison spoke up. "Well, you smell terrible and are probably even uglier. But nobody can see you because you are hiding under that smelly old raincoat."

"That will be enough of that," said Mrs. Jewls. "Now, Sammy, why don\'t you take off your coat and hang it in the closet? Let us all see how nice you look."

"I don\'t want to, you old windbag," said Sammy.

"That\'s because he\'s so ugly," said Leslie.

"I\'m sure he\'s quite handsome," said Mrs. Jewls. "He\'s just shy. Here, let me help you." Mrs. Jewls took off Sammy\'s coat for him. But underneath it was still another raincoat, even dirtier and smellier than the first one.

They still couldn\'t see his face.

"Ooooh, now he smells even worse," said Maurecia.

"You don\'t exactly smell like a rose, either," Sammy replied.
57Mrs. Jewls took off his second raincoat, but there was still another one under that. And the smell became so bad that Mrs. Jewls had to run and stick her head out the window to get some fresh air.
"You\'re all a bunch of pigs!" Sammy screeched. "Dirty, rotten pigs!"

The smell was overpowering. Sammy just stood there, hidden under his raincoats.
