Chapter 8: A Stretched
out Guinea Pig and a Wild Ride...
The building was beginning
to vaporize all around them. Mr. R's chemicals were very, very strong! Too bad the poor students still hadn't
figured out how to save Cocoa, their favorite talking guinea-pig.Steam was streaming out
of the steam pipes that were breaking. Math and spelling books were mysteriously flying
through the room..."We
have to do something quickly!" yelled Serena."How
about we pull Cocoa by the tail into the elevator," suggested
Justin as the walls of the room began to crack."But
the elevator is inside of Cocoa's mouth. Do you think we can pull
her inside of herself?" asked Hannah."It
sounds like a good idea," said David, "but who's going
to go out there into that vaporizing classroom?""Not
me!" said Justin."Or
me!" said Serena. As
a matter of fact all the students said they wouldn't go."I guess I will
have to make that decision for the students." Says Mr. R
to himself as he types this chapter. Let's see. Should I send him? No, should I send her? No..... I have it! I will put
a math problem by each student's name. Whoever has the problem that has an answer that is equal to 5,678
will have to go into the dangerous classroom. (Two of them will
go)
