The Rolly Polly Story

There once was a rolly polly named Moly. Moly would run as fast as he could and then role into a ball and it was a lot of fun. He liked rolling and playing with his friends.

One day Moly decided to climb a very big hill. He wanted to roll down the hill. All of the other rolly pollys said "come play with us Moly". He told them he would play with them later. All that he wanted to do right now was climb that big hill so he could roll down it. He started climbing. As he was climbing he could hear all of the other roly polys laughing and playing. It sounded like a lot of fun. He thought "maybe I should just go play with the other rolly pollys". Then he decided to finish what he had started. He finally made it to the top of the hill. It was a long walk. He was up pretty high and it was kind of scary. He held his breath, closed his eyes, and rolled. He rolled so fast. It was the fastest he had ever rolled. He rolled all the way over to where the other rolly pollys were playing. They all stopped to watch Moly. He was laughing so hard.

Then he said "I'm ready to play with you now", to all the other rolly pollys.

"We want to roll down the hill with you Milt" they all said.

So all the rolly pollys rolled down the hill together. It was the most fun they had ever had.
