“I wouldn’t tell you what happened to me in 2000 years!” said Norman, “It’s just too horrible…”
“Aww, come on,” said Greg, “We want all the gory details!”
“Well, O.K. since you asked….” said Norman, “Ya see, I was stuck in this city where they had strange teepees made out of marshmallow fluff and spinach pies.
I was lost between two of the teepees when these spooky animals came over and started doing ballet dancing on my head. As they danced on my head, I was becoming shorter, and shorter, and shorter. Those animals were pretty heavy you know. I tried to escape before I became only 1-inch tall, but they grabbed me and threw me into a giant hot dog bun and started pouring mustard and spinach, and taco sauce all over me. Then they carried me around the city getting ready to eat me.”
“Yuuchhh!” said Hannah, “I hate spinach.”
“Hey, not to change the subject,” said Norman, “but did you folks like the green smoke under the door trick? It was the one cool thing I ever learned from the evil wizard of math. It only costs 9 cents for each little green smoke maker, and let’s see… it took 4 of them to fill the whole doorway of the elevator with green smoke.”
How much money did Norman spend on the 4 smoke makers?
