Kaia grabbed Pemma,
on the walk home from school,
and said--"Look at that!
That looks cool!"
Pemma looked and saw
a sign on a door.
It said "RED STUFF,
Now sold in our store!"
Into the shop,
The two sisters went,
They put their money on the counter,
every last cent.
"One can of RED STUFF, please,"
said Kaia to the clerk.
"Here you go.
Do you know how it works?"
She looked at the label
'No need for THINKING
Just GO! GO! GO!
With Red Stuff Energy DRINKING!'
The two sisters continued
on their way home
And soon came to the playground,
a fun place to roam
"It's been a long walk,"
Kaia sat with a sigh.
"Maybe it's time,
To give RED STUFF a try!"
Kaia opened the can
And brought it to her lips
Then passed it to Pemma
Who took her own sip
In just a few minutes
They felt their energy go high
The Red Stuff worked!
The label was no lie!
"Time to fly!" shouted Kaia
And she jumped on the swing
While Pemma ran over
to the monkey rings
Kaia pumped her legs
Like a good swinging flyer
She had never pumped so hard
She had never gone higher
And Pemma on the rings
Made it all the way across
She had tried that before
But always had lost
It took hours to get tired.
Then Kaia said "That's enough"
As they walked home they said
"We love RED STUFF"
The next morning at breakfast
Kaia thought of a plan.
"Mom, some kids get an allowance.
Do you think we can?"
"Okay kids, here is a deal.
If your homework is done and your bed is made,
If your room is clean.
Do that and you'll get paid"
For many days
the kids did their chores and behaved
They got their allowances
and their allowances they saved
Finally one day
Kaia raised both of her hands
"Pemma we now have enough,
for TEN cans!"
"Ten cans of RED STUFF please"
This was quite a lot
But they had the money
So that's what they got
Back to the Swings
Back to the Rings
They drank the RED STUFF
And did all the things
Then they got tired
And sat on a tree
Drank another RED STUFF
And jumped up with glee
"It's my turn on the rings!"
Pemma shouted very loud
"No it's my turn"
Kaia shouted back as loud as a crowd
They struggled and struggled
And then Pemma ran
But Kaia followed her
Predicting her plan
"This is my swing!"
Pemma screamed, and grabbed one
of the chains
"No its my swing!"
Kaia screamed back, as it started to rain.
They tugged and they tugged
And said things to hurt
Then the chains snapped
And they fell to the dirt
Both started crying
Just as their mother came around
"What happend?" she asked
Then she saw the cans on the ground.
"Did you drink all of these?",
The kids nodded their heads.
"Uh huh. Yes we did",
They both said
"Well, you drank the wrong stuff
And now you can see
That wasn't very wise
What you need is GOOD ENERGY"
"Now its time for a bath
To take a nice soak.
And your next allowance will pay for
the swing that you broke"
Weeks went by,
The girls did their chores and read books.
They even started to learn
How to cook.
They learned about food,
Then something started to click.
One morning Kaia said
"I think I figured out the trick!"
Pemma could see,
Kaia had a new plan
"Back to the playgound!"
She said, and they ran
Kaia swung higher than ever
And Pemma crossed the rings with just one puff
"We don't need energy drinks.
We just need to eat the RIGHT STUFF"
