9. The Football Game Question Five boys named Tom, Ernie, Jerry, Chris and Zack all played a football game, Then Zack hurt his arm so he went inside to watch FOX NFL Sunday instead. The other guys thought they needed more players so they called up some friends to come over. Four boys that they called, named Bill, Jake, Jim, and Earl, decided to come and join in; each of them brought two friends to the game as well. Ernie and Chris thought this was too many people so they went inside to play Madden NFL 12, but Ernie's little brother Randy was playing it with his pals, Larry, Steve, and Tim. Ernie and Chris called them slouches and got them to hand over the Madden NFL 12 and go outside to join the real game going on in the yard. 5 minutes later Tom (one of Jim's friends) twisted his ankle so badly he heard a CRACK! He thought maybe it was broken so an ambulance came to take him for x-rays! The flashing lights and sirens got all the other neighbor kids to come out to see what was going on, and the game started again with twice as many players as had been playing when Tom got hurt. HOW MANY KIDS ARE PLAYING IN THE GAME NOW? By D.F.
