Hopscotch is lots of fun.
|
It was invented a long,
|
|
|
long time ago.
|
It was not a fun game
|
|
|
at that time.
|
It was used to make the men
|
|
|
in the British army stronger.
|
There were lots of boxes
|
|
|
in the old hopscotches.
|
The hopscotch could be hundreds of feet long.
|
|
|
The men had to hop
|
in all the boxes
|
|
|
with their splendid armor on.
|
The strongest and fastest men
|
|
|
finished first.
|
The men who did not finish
|
|
|
got upset.
|
They knew they would be punished.
|
|
|
The British children
|
wanted to mimic
|
|
|
the men in the army.
|
They made their own hopscotches.
|
|
|
Theirs were not as long
|
as the ones the men used.
|
|
|
They tossed small rocks
|
onto the boxes
|
|
|
and hopped to the end.
|
When the children played,
|
|
|
it was all for fun.
|
Even now,
|
|
|
there are children who think hopscotch
|
is a blast!
