Butcher butcher who put your feet on the floor. Here's something you can rap about. I have a friend and we're always trying to be bad. They need them. To be mine and to be able to do more things in gymnastics and a lot of other things like that. What do you think about. Competition between two friends who. Completely different. Only you know if you can do something in gymnastics and she can do that you can teach her but you can compete against it.
You can't do that. That's a good way of losing friends if you're afraid if you do someday she can't do it in you teacher and you know how to do it. Like about the same amount if they are competing with each other and competing with each other can get you in a lot of trouble doing that. And the power is going to bring you his friends wrote in. I mean it just messes up everything so just. Don't you know like if someone's reading right then they can talk you know I. I can I can read better than you can instead of saying that you know I can do this good you can do that could they. They try and do better than the other person instead of doing what they can do. I have this one friend. He does wild things good. He draws good he can sing good. And he tries to help me sing good you know stuff. And you know coaches me and drawing it whenever we have spare time. And he doesn't brag about his driving yet. I just say to him you know what are you going to be when you grow up he says maybe a cartoonist.
You know I really like this kid because he doesn't he doesn't you know say well I know I'm a great driver and I know I'm going to be a cartoonist when I grow up because you're just no good. He doesn't do that. He just says you can be a cartoonist if you really try. I could help you. I give him a lot of confidence now when you try. You know everybody can see you but. You know everyone is wondering why they have their own cause. Yes. You know they're proud of themselves. He should be proud. So when I go on saying it. Like at my school there was this kid. He could do math. Good for a while after you did it. He wasn't so conceited about it after everybody started you're smart you know you could you help me with my math and everything. So soon as he got the idea it was Mr. Smart. You know he knew everything in the world. Then he started saying. Well I'm not going to help you anymore because I'm smarter than you and I don't want to catch you disease or being dumb.

Presto. Perfect. I just ripped. Well. I am sitting on. It. Is. There something so special about my family. Movie disasters. Like this all begin was when my dad came into a little
town and he saw this as on the back of a battered old pickup truck. He couldn't rest until he had that in involved. In the barn. He got everything you could imagine that he could trade out the market. No no no. And then finally my brother went out to the barn and at that time we had had a letter of Scroggs and we want a loan to this fall and he said Well I would trade those two skunks that is there. That was about nine years ago. And that started our whole career with these animals. And I have just begun. To learn how to teach a royal baby just to weed through the kitchen. And that's the hard part.
Now. With a real work force. And two things say to do. Most people call these donkeys. But we don't because donkeys is nothing for gas. And. If you translate a donkey into English you'd find that it came out dog color or a donkey as they call it.
As means of birds. Which was which is in the Bible. But a lot of people. Just want to. Just what are called donkeys because they don't why they get offended by the word.
