Yesterday, our teacher Mrs. Mcfall created a game. That game was about taxes. Each of our classmates had a cup half full of mints. Our teacher pulled up a card that has a sentence written on it.  If you have shoes that have laces, bring two mints to the front of the classroom. If you didn’t have what was on the front of the card, you got to keep your mints. At the end of the game some of my classmates had not one mint , but the rest of our class had under five mints. The people that had no mints they said ,” no fair,  that is not right!”

We went on and on until the teacher ran out of questions. What I learned was that people back then had to pay for what they wore and had to pay their bosses .
