A PIZZA
“Daddy, let’s order a pizza,” Billy said. “That sounds like a good idea,” his dad said.
They looked at a menu they had at home. “What kind of pizza do you want?” his dad
asked. Billy wanted a large pizza. He wanted a pizza with four toppings: cheese,
pepperoni, ham, and pineapple. His dad said that sounded good.
He called the pizza place. “They don’t have any pineapple,” his dad told Billy. “What do
you want instead?” Billy wanted sausage instead of pineapple. His dad ordered
sausage instead of pineapple.
About 30 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. It was the pizza man. “Here’s
your pizza,” he told Billy’s dad. “That’ll be $16.” Dad paid for the pizza and also gave the
man a tip. Then, he took the pizza to the living room.
A baseball game was on TV. Billy and his dad started to eat the pizza in the living room.
“I hope the Yankees lose,” Billy told his dad. “I hope the Yankees win, too,” his dad said.
