The Story of Flatboy

Flatboy couldn’t throw or catch a ball. His parents gave him a penny to kick around. When he got bigger, they gave him a checker. He was an active child. He wanted his hair cut in a flat top, but his mother said no.

When he was six years old, Flatboy’s parents sent him to a special school. It was called “School for the Depth-challenged.” Only flat children were allowed to go there. Special teachers took care of them. Flatboy liked being on the school’s checker-soccer team.
