Gotcha Back! #19 Chapter 2 “Okay, check this out!” George exclaimed proudly as he and Katie sat on his back porch. He held up a big cardboard box. “My cousin Charlie sent this to me for my birthday.” Katie watched as George reached into the box and pulled out a big, gray, hairy spider! “How did this get in here?” George shouted out. Quickly, he threw the spider across the porch. It landed right on Katie’s lap! “AAAAHH!” Katie screamed. George began to laugh. “Relax, Katie Kazoo. It’s just a fake spider.” He laughed even harder. “You scared me, George,” Katie said angrily. “Oh, come on. It’s just a joke,” George told her. “Look what else my cousin got me.” Katie peered inside the box. There was a clear plastic cube with a fly inside it, a pencil, a camera, and two packs of gum. What a weird group of gifts, she thought. “Can I have a piece of the gum?” Katie asked George. “Sure.” George smiled slightly as he handed Katie a stick of gum. Katie unwrapped the gum and popped it in her mouth.
