"What are you doing?" asked Chepito. "Reading the paper," answered the big man. "Why, why, why?" sang Chepito. "To see who won the game, of course." * * * Chepito ran all the way home from school. He went in the door and sat down on a chair. He pulled a book out of his bag. "What are you doing?" said his mother. "I'm reading a book," answered Chepito.
