betty sat, legs dangling over the edge of the dock, as she consumed her second ice cream. she watched her friends diving into the sea. they would appear out of the sky like angels before splashing into the ugly water. the cast on her arm kept her from joining in. so she ate vanilla ice cream instead. afforded by asking all the boys she knew if they could spare her a penny or two. those who wrinkled their nose at her were rewarded with a shinny shoed kick to the shin. how do you think she broke her arm, anyway?
