Terrence was a good athlete but a bad sport.
Rondi and Allison were playing two-square with a red ball.
"Can I play?" asked Terrence.
"No," Allison replied.
"You have to let me play," Terrence said. "Louis says we have to share the balls."
"Well, we\'re not sharing with you," said Allison.
"Oh, let him play," said Rondi.
"All right," said Allison. "We\'ll play three-square. You better play right."
99"I will," said Terrence.
Allison bounced the ball to Rondi. Rondi bounced it over to Terrence. Terrence caught it and kicked it over the fence.
"You have to go get it," said Allison.
"Shut up, Dixie cup," Terrence answered.

D.J. and Dameon were playing basketball. "Uh-oh, here comes Terrence," said Dameon.

"Can I play?" asked Terrence.
100"No," said Calvin. "You\'ll just kick the ball over the fence."
"No," said Joe.
"No way," said John.
"No," said Leslie.
"Sure," said Stephen. "Newcomers are IT." He gave the ball to Terrence. "Just throw the ball up in the air and call out a number between one and five."
"Okay," said Terrence.
The children formed a circle around Terrence.
"A million," yelled Terrence as he kicked the ball over the fence.
"What did you do that for?" asked Stephen.
"Eat a frog, warthog," said Terrence.
