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.
