CAMPING ADVENTURE

Last Saturday Wendy invited five friends for a
weekend campout in her backyard. She paced and
fretted, waiting for Saturday to arrive. When it did,
Wendy’s mother took her to the grocery store early that
morning.
“We need to buy the food you girls will have on
your campout,” her mother said.
At the store, they bought:
• 16 ounce package of ten hot dogs @ $1.49
• 11 ounce package of hot dog buns @ $1.98
• 14.4 ounce package of graham crackers @ $1.25
• 10 ounce package of marshmallows @ $1.89
• 39 ounce box of chocolate bars @ $3.09
• 16 ounce bag of potato chips @ $3.29
Wendy’s mother paid for the food and they left the store to go home.
That evening Wendy and her friends got ready for their cookout, Wendy pulled the
food from the cooler and began opening packages. Each paper plate had a hot dog
bun waiting to be filled. Six roasting sticks sprouted hot dogs and hovered over low
flames in the fire pit.
After the girls ate their first hot dogs, Wendy realized that there were only four hot
dogs left. There wasn’t enough for everyone to have a second one. She asked how
many girls wanted another hot dog and three girls called out. Whew! Those who wanted
one could have one.
When Wendy looked at the buns, she found only
two buns were left. She told the three girls who readied
their roasting sticks that one of them wouldn’t have a
bun. One girl laughed and said that always happened at
her home and she could eat her “dog” without a bun.
When it came time for smores, each girl had two.
Everyone went to sleep that night satisfied with the
food, the singing around the campfire, and their
friendship.
