Shelli Thinks About Sharing on a Submarine
By Beth A. Beutler

¹     Shelli whistled along with the popular tune. It was 1968, and the Beatles song was all over the radio. Shelli loved to turn her radio on real loud and dance around her room in her tie-dye dress. In fact, she was doing that now.

²     Shelli's older sister, Tabby, banged on the door.

³     "Shelli!" Tabby barked. She knocked louder. "Shelli!"

⁴     "What?" Shelli called above the radio.

⁵     "Let me in!"

⁶     Shelli danced across her blue shag carpet over to the door. She continued dancing after her sister walked in.

⁷     Tabby started, "May I borrow..."

⁸     "Shh!" Shelli cried. "I'm listening to the Beatles!"

⁹     Tabby rolled her eyes. Thank goodness the song was almost over. She was not a Beatles fan.

¹⁰     Once the song wound down, Shelli stopped dancing and flicked her long hair over her shoulders. "Now, what do you want?"

¹¹     "I need to borrow a pen."

¹²     "What for?"

¹³     Tabby pursed her lips. "Because I lost mine!"

¹⁴     "Sorry, can't help you," Shelli said.
