Don’t Talk On Your Cell Phone While Driving
In recent years, cell phones have made life more convenient for people all over the world. However, many people have decided that it’s even more convenient to use their cell phones while driving. Distractions such as talking on your cell phone can lead to dangerous driving, which leads to accidents. Recognizing this, the city of Green River has passed a law saying that driving while talking on a cell phone is illegal!

Mr. Clown: Don’t Take Candy From Strangers
Every year in the United States, about 800,000 children are reported missing. Many are taken by family members or someone known by them and their family. Some run away. However many of these children are snatched by strangers. “Stranger Danger” represents a real threat to children all over the world. Often strangers entice children with candy. By offering sweet sugary treats they trick children into coming close enough to kidnap them! Tyrone Sanders’s mother has warned him many times that he should never take candy from strangers just for these reasons! Wanting to enjoy a sunny Fall day, Tyrone has gone hiking in the woods surrounding the town of Green River. And that is where the trouble begins. Deciding he wants to see the river the town of Green River is named for, Tyrone makes his way to the old highway at the edge of the wood. That’s where a lady in a car with out of state license plates stops him! She says that her name is Miss Vera and that she just needs directions back to the interstate. She says that she got lost while exiting the interstate to refuel. After Tyrone politely gives her directions back to the interstate, Miss Vera offers him a candy bar for his troubles! While Miss Vera seems nice, she is still a stranger. And, to get the candy Tyrone has to come ever so close to her car. Those few inches closer could be just enough for Miss Vera to snatch Tyrone—stealing him away and doing something awful and horrible to him! What will Tyrone do? Will he take the candy? Ignoring the dangers that a stranger can present? Is Tyrone going to forget everything his mother has ever told him about taking candy from strangers? Mr. Clown has been watching everything transpire very closely. And, if Tyrone does take the candy, Mr. Clown has decided that he will teach Tyrone a very painful lesson—one more painful than anything a stranger might inflict on him. Hopefully that candy is worth it Tyrone!

Don’t Play In The Street
It’s always a very good idea for little children to go outside and play in the sunshine. Sunshine is good for them, as is physical activity. In this modern day and age, most children spend way too much time sitting inside watching television, playing video games, or surfing the internet. That’s why Molly Radcliff’s mother is so pleased that Molly goes outside every day for at least a couple of hours to play. However, Mrs. Radcliff wouldn’t be so pleased if she realized Molly sometimes played in the street! There are a lot of days where Molly will talk her chalk and draw a hopscotch board on the road beside her house. Mrs. Radcliff would be quite upset if she knew this. Mr. Clown knows. He has watched from the window of his living room across the street every day, and each time Molly goes out in the street, he silently shakes his fist and grimaces even more than normal at Molly’s reckless behavior. Today he has had quite enough of Molly’s shenanigans. And even though Cathy Perkins is warning Molly that Mr. Clown is coming with his chainsaw and Mr. Carter is coming in his car, Molly is too busy hopscotching to pay any attention to Cathy’s warnings, the sound of the approaching car, or the grinding of the chainsaw. Which do you think will reach her first? The car or Mr. Clown and his chainsaw? Either way, Molly’s fun is about to come to a miserable end.
