“A long time ago in a land far away a princess was born on a sunny spring day. The king and queen were so very delighted they decided that everyone should be invited to a naming day feast and a big celebration to welcome the princess with much jubilation. So the herald was called and without delay he hopped on his horse and he went on his way to invite everybody who lived in their land to the naming day party the royals had planned. The herald had clearly been told to invite every last villager, fairy and sprite. But when he arrived at a ramshackle shack the state of the house took him rather aback. He knew that the warty nosed fairy lived there but he just kept on riding like he didn’t care. The warty nosed fairy she cried and she cried “Oh why can’t they see they see that I’m lovely inside.”

“Hot Spaghetti!” I shouted as I dashed to the closest base on the left. Laughter and shouts erupted as I ran, but I didn’t stop. When I was within a few steps of the base, I took a flying leap and landed on it. The first baseman on the other team laughed. I smiled … until I saw the red ball thrown across the field to a different base. My teammates continued to shout, but all the voices and laughter smashed together into a jumble of sounds. With his foot on the base, Caden caught the red ball. “Out,” he shouted with a big grin. “Charlie, you’re out,” Mr. Wells said. He motioned to me, so I jogged to where he stood behind home plate. “You ran to the wrong base. That is third base, not first.” I scratched my head. “That means we run in a counterclockwise direction for this game,” I said. Mr. Wells raised his eyebrows. “I suppose so,” he said. “I thought clockwise was the standard circular direction here.” “Go wait in line with the rest of your team,” Mr. Wells said.”
