The Water Meter Reader
Once upon a time there was a guy named Beter, his wife's name was
Freter, their babies name was Reter, their dogs name was Sketer.
They all lived in a heater. One day Freter was looking threw
the Daily Paper for a job for Beter. As she was reading threw
she said here's a job, he said well read on I would like to here
about it. She said the Town's soccer team is looking for a coach
, he said that would not work because I do not know how to play
soccer. Well we will keep on looking hay here's a job for a
Water Meter Reader, it say's you should be able to read you
know how to read "Right", right. Tomorrow I will take you
their okay. The next day she took him their, on the way she
said "Now remember don't get fired cause you are at a good
job working here". She dropped him off and said "Be good now
don't get fired". Then she hollered I'm counting on you.
At work he loved it, he liked reading meters, writing down
information, he liked the uniforms, most of all he liked going
to work getting dropped off in the mornings and getting home
at 3:30 to be with the family. One month (the month of August)
he had a miserable time since the summer was coming and summer
vacation was in a few weeks and he was working real hard to get
lot's of money so they could go on a good summer vacation. Well
on August 9th he had a really horrible time he got tools jammed
and everybody was complaining and customers were yelling at him
and calling the boss on him. He got home and no one was home he
freaked out for some weird reason and packed his stuff and left
in his truck. His wife came home after a few days realized he
was gone and said, "Fine he want's to leave let him." He kept
going to work and one day at work he saw this really pretty girl
walk in, he asked her out on a date, she said "yes".
That Friday they met at JB's. They talked and she said you
sound a lot about someone I used to no. Oh really. Yes,
quite a lot. I better go, give me your phone number I will
call you sometime 0.k. my phone number is 565-6565. Hay what
is your name? Freter, uh oh. You are my wife, 'What". I Kay
I'll tell you what happened, well you better. He told her the
story, She understood. They went back to the house and they
totally remodeled, They made the babies room bigger and better
, made Sketer a really nice dog house, made a nice patio, and
one thing that was really nice was they both agreed to leave
notes when ever they leave their house property. One afternoon
when Beter was at work Freter and Reter were outside Freter had
a phone call and ran inside and when she came back out Reter was
gone, She started yelling "Reter". She ran back into the
house and called Beter at work, She couldn't call the police
cause of corse they were little people and in there life they
didn't have police. Well any way's she met Beter at the park
they had the whole family looking for Reter they also had their
friends out looking for Reter. That night at 7:00 p.m. all
friends and family went home. They gave up for the night and
went home too. That night at home Freter and Beter were
sitting on the couch watching Baby's Night Out, it didn't help
it just made Freter and Beter cry, they cried all night long,
they also went through 7 boxes of Kleenexes. That next day
all family and friend's went out looking they spent all day and
all night looking, the babies grandmother found the babies
shoes and then the babies grandfather started yelling look,
look I found the babies coat. Mrs.Neter ran over and grabbed
the baby's coat. No one was paying attention, but Reter was
helping them look for Reter. Reter does not no how to talk.
Freter thought it was the neighbor's baby and sent Reter home
with the neighbor's that night. Before they went home with her
baby she said "Your cute little girl looks just like Reter,
She even has the same outfit as my darling Reter".
The neighbor's said well don't worry will find Reter.
Goodnight now, Thanks for looking for Reter with us.
The next morning why Freter and Beter were getting ready
to search for Reter some more, they heard a scream next door
at the neighbor's house. Freter and Beter ran over to see what
all the fuss was about. As they opened the door and ran
straight to the nursery. When they got there Freter fainted
when she saw what was there. There in Mrs.Neater's arms was
two identical twins, Beter said wait a minute (he turned on
his lightbulb) He shook Freter and explained to her of what he
thought had happened to Reter. She said I bet you anything
that's what happened. They took their baby Reter home and said
was she good last night, They said she was a sleep all night
last night, they said she never blinked her eye open. Mrs. and
Mr.Neater gave Reter back to Freter. Beter went back to work
that morning and Freter made cookies, cup cakes and made cute
little goodie basket's for everyone who helped find Reter, even
Sketer got a basket. Freter and Beter were talking and said
we have a really wild family they both agreed with each other
about that. Amber Y. Oswald
