976 - MATCH

This is my 9-year-old Granddaughter's version:

There were A loT of different squirrels at Acorn Towers (a boarding school for squirrels). Gwen, the snobbish show-off had finally met her match. She was called Maureen and she had the same golden fur and snobby expressions as Gwen (not to say the same eager will to boast). Belinda however was quite cheerful and brilliant at art and baking. But when she's busy and is interrupted, she flies into a temper. She just baked a new batch of cookies. Irene's music-mad, Sally is bossy and always following the rules. Jean is quiet and has a brown patch on her tail. Apparently, Sara's gran, Eleanor, used to come here and was a bad squirrel, and when she was grown up, natch, ended up in prison. Right now, is geography and Sara is working hard, collecting each datum to create a map.

A different lesson, this one about other animals

This is my version:

"AT last we have this manufacturing process working properly", Ernie, the shop floor manager was saying, "this latest set of parts can serve as the datum batch which we'll keep in the special store room and which won't be sold. If, later on, one of the machines used to make something needs a patch applied or needs replacing we can then compare the first batch produced after the repair with this datum batch to see if they function as well. If they do then, natch, we will allow the production line to restart." Ernie's lecture was rather boring to the workers who were glad to get back to work or to finish their shift and get home. Ozzie especially was glad to get home as it was his young daughter's birthday. This year he felt confident she could light the match to get the candles alight. He wanted to give one last practice before the party started.
