Texas Reading Club Manual 43
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: No, it seems as if he has skipped two pages. He looks very confused.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: Let’s hope that he finds out what happened. He is now turning back two
pages.
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: Yes, he has found the pages that he skipped and he is reading again.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: That’s why he is the champ!
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: Both the champ and the challenger seem to love their books.
PAT: I think they are both ready to call it a day. The challenger has finished his book and the
champ has put a book mark in his book.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: They are both up and ready to leave. I guess that the champ is going to
finish his book at home.
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: Remember, he has checked out many books during his career and he
always brings them back to the library.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: I think that the librarian is going to declare this competition over. Do
you see any clear winners there?
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: I think they are both winners. They both read books and they both
enjoyed themselves.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: The librarian is about to declare a winner. It looks like a tie to me also.
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: Listen to the crowd cheer!
(The Librarian stands between the champ and the challenger, like a referee between two boxers.
The librarian starts to lift both the champs and the challenger’s hands, but before this can
happen the challenger takes his book and sticks it in the book shelf. The librarian throws a
yellow flag and lifts the champ’s hand.)
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: Oh, No! The challenger tried to reshelve his own book! The challenger
tried to reshelve his own book! The champ is still champ.
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: What an ending! I thought everyone knew that you should not reshelve
your own books. Always let the librarians do it.
SPORTS ANCHOR 1: That mistake really cost the challenger.
SPORTS ANCHOR 2: Just listen to that crowd! What a glorious day in the library.
CROWD: (Cheers)
