Tuesday, May 30, 1933 It's Decoration Day and Nick has decided to skip school because he doesn't want to take his history test. With a fistful of money, he tries to convince his sister, Janet, to head out for a day at Chutes-by-the-Beach where they can ride the Big Dipper and visit the Fun House. She finally agrees since she never gets to eat the hot dogs with mustard that she likes so much! Will they have the time of their lives or will someone snitch and turn them over to the police for truancy? Either way, it's quite likely going to be a day both children will remember for many years to come. This short story contains 7K words.
