Kenny wanted to wear a stormtrooper costume for Halloween.
But his parents wouldn’t buy him the kit.
So, he got a paper route, mowed lawns, and babysat.
It took him a year to earn the money.
The costume kit arrived… in November.
Too late for Halloween.
Kenny waited a whole year, during which he grew seven inches.
A few pieces broke when he tried to wear it.
He couldn’t return it, so he threw it in the trash.
Sitting on the porch moping, he saw a kid wearing the patched-up costume, and he beat that kid with a baseball bat.
