BR 2-16: The Giant Jelly Bean Jar

Ben loved jelly beans and he loved going to Jo-Jo’s Jelly Beans Shop. Every weekend Jo-Jo had a contest. Jo-Jo read a riddle and said,”Guess which jelly bean flavor is the answer to my riddle.” The person with the right answer won a jar full of jelly beans. Ben wanted to won the riddle contest but he could not because he was shy and kids who around him were taller than Ben and when they raise hands it were higher than Ben, so he always missed the contest prince.
One Saturday, it was Jo-Jo shop’s party because Jo-Jo’s jelly beans had been open for one year. The store was more crowded than ever. Jo-Jo had a very big jar of jelly beans over his head. Everyone cheered. Jo-Jo said “I’m yummy with jelly and can be spooned from a jar. Between slice of bread I am a true sandwich star!” Ben knew the answer right away. This time he lifted his hand high. Jo-Jo looked out at the big crowd and he pointed to Ben. Ben was so surprised, he forgot the answer to the riddle. Everyone waited for Ben to speak, but he did not say anything. His sister, Jill came to Ben and she stepped right on Ben’s toes. Then Ben cried out and he remembered the answer. He shouted, ”Peanut butter!!” The answer was right and Jo-Jo placed a sparkling crown on Ben’s head. He handed Ben the great big jelly bean prize jar. He was really happy. On the way home, he said thank you to his sister for stepping his toes.
