“What gives, Tia?” Grant begged as <strong>the</strong>y strolled<br />
out <strong>of</strong> <strong>Liberty</strong> Center.<br />
“Yeah,” Hunter said, “What has too many Ns?”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> bell!” Christina answered.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are no Ns in bell,” Grant said, rolling his<br />
eyes. “Even lousy spellers know that.”<br />
“You don’t understand,” Christina explained.<br />
“Pennsylvania is spelled P-E-N-N-S-Y-L-V-A-N-I-A<br />

“Congratulations!” Hunter said and laughed.<br />
“You know how to spell my home state.”<br />
“No!” Christina said, annoyed. “Don’t you get it?<br />

<strong>Liberty</strong> <strong>Bell</strong> before we came here. When <strong>the</strong> bell<br />
was made, <strong>the</strong> makers spelled Pennsylvania P-E-N<br />
with only one N!’”<br />
