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)

 

JUSTIN 5,670 + 7   GREG 45 + 2,000 + 654
JUSTIN 4,004 - 38   HANNAH 10,000 - 10
HANNAH 6,789 - 1,111   SERENA 5,432 + 222
DAVID 6,005 - 5009   DAVID 34 + 23 + 12 + 14
GREG 5,300 + 345   HANNAH 45 - 34
SERENA 4,567 + 2,333   GREG 5,677 + 1

So and were chosen to run out to pull Cocoa's tail into the elevator. The students heard them struggling with Cocoa for a few minutes, but soon they came running back into the elevator, out of breath, and screaming, "Guess what! We have some bad news!"
