2. Jake’s Candy Problem! By Jamie Fox

4. There was a boy named Jake in a small town. All he wanted to do was eat candy!!!

6. Jake’s mom and dad did not like the fact that Jake ate a one pound bag of candy a day. They tried taking Jake’s candy, but Jake had candy stashed in so many places, in his toy box, dresser, under his bed and all over the house!

8. Jake’s mom went into Jake’s room and got all the candy from the toy box, dresser, and under his bed while Jake was taking out the trash. When Jake got done, he went up to his room. He looked in all the secret places for his candy. It was all gone!

10. Jake was very MAD at his mom and dad. He ran down the stairs like a lion.

12. Jake asked his parents what they did with all his candy. He had steam coming out of his ears. His mom explained, “Honey, you don’t need to eat all that candy! It’s unhealthy, so I put it up some where so you can’t get to it.”

14. Jake’s face was as red as fire. Jake yelled at his mom saying, “I don’t like you for putting up my candy.” That’s when Jake’s dad stepped in and told Jake to go up to his room NOW!!!

16. Jake got up to his room, but was still upset. He decided to draw a picture of his dream world of candy. Then he looked out the window and saw a shooting star. He made his wish!! Jake went back to his picture.

18. In the picture, there was man standing and waving. Jake he was in shock! So Jake jumped into the picture, escaped down a slide and discovered his dream world of candy. His wish came true! Jake was going crazy. He was eating all of his favorite candy. He even put candy in his jean pocket and in his shoes- just in case he wanted candy later.

20. The man said, “Hey, Jake slow down there, boy.” Jake grumbled, “What do you know?” The man added, “Follow me I will show you.” They got over by a computer, and Jake got to see what it would be like if he ate too much candy. Jake was stunned! Jake cried, “I don’t want to look like that at the age of sixteen with NO teeth and look so old!” That’s when the man stressed, “Well you know what you have do!”

22. “ “Yes, I do!” Jake cried. The man snapped his finger and Jake was in his room. Jake was still crying. He ran down the stairs, and he gave his mom the biggest bear hug. He told his mom that he was so sorry, and he didn’t mean anything. Jake told her to throw all the candy away, and she did. He added “I want to start eating healthy. Jake be came strong and healthy. THE END
