The Masked Magician

         Arnold is just an average teenage boy who always had a dream to be a magician.  his dad Tom wanted him to be a basketball player because he was tall. Every day his dad begged him to play basketball but Arnold would never in a million years play basketball.

         When Arnold got to school he went to his Magic Class For Fun. Now that you know a lot about Arnold IÕll start my story. As Arnold was going to his first period of class his dad stopped him in the hall

 ÒSon you need to come with me to basketball tryouts.Ó

Ò Dad I told you that IÕm not doing basketballÓ yelled Arnold

Ò Son I already have you signed up, so that means you have

To tryout.Ó

ÒFINE!Ó

Arnold figured out that if he just failed tryouts he wouldnÕt have to play on the team, but he thought wrong. His

Dad bribed the coach with dunkon donuts and some coffee to allow Arnold to play. Arnold left the gym and headed back to class.

         After school Arnold and his fellow magicians went to the biggest mall in town  to buy some presents for their magic teacher. ÒWhy donÕt we go to magicians and buy Mr. Jackson a brand new laser wand?Ó asked Arnold.  They bought Mr. Jackson a black wand with red stripes.

         The next day at class they gave Mr. Jackson his wand. He loved it. He said he would never use it.                                             They left and went to the new ice cream store that was just a block away. When they got there everybody ordered a regular vanilla ice cream sundae except me. Arnold got a chocolate cone with vanilla ice cream. They took it to go and everybody hopped into his new black pickup truck and Arnold took them all home. After Arnold was done taking everybody home he went home .Arnold  looked in the pink mailbox and saw that his magic kit had arrived. He went inside the apartment to open it up. It was amazing. He started putting the red wand together and everything else. When he was finished putting everything together he tried the magic out.

         The next day Arnold went out to try the magic out on the city.  He put on his  black magician costume on and he was off. That is how Arnold began his career as a magician.
