A Present for Uncle Arte

 

Hey, it’s Sparky. I got some good news and some bad news today, sorta.

The good news is, I finally figured out what I am going to get my Uncle Arte for Christmas. Which is a huge relief, because I’ve really been struggling with it. I mean, what do you get a guy who has traveled the world, had exciting adventures and runs his own shop that sells some of the coolest stuff in Kinzville? Booger suggested a video game, but that’s not really Uncle Arte’s speed. And then Roberta said maybe I should make something, which wasn’t a bad idea, but I wasn’t really sure what I could make that he would want. I guess he must have noticed that I was feeling a bit stressed because he sat me down when I came into the Curio Shop the other day and asked what was bothering me. I know you shouldn’t talk about what gift you’re going to give someone, but I’ve never been able to lie to Uncle Arte so I just came out and told him the truth, that I really wanted to give him the perfect present but I didn’t know what that would be.

And then he gave me an idea. But that’s where the bad news comes in. Because Uncle Arte said that the single best gift he could get for Christmas this year is if I got an A on my geography test. I’ve been putting in a lot of hours at the Curio Shop and not really studying as much as I should lately and I know Uncle Arte’s been kind of disappointed in me. I really want to make him happy, but to be honest, I’ve been so tired from working in the shop, and busy thinking about Christmas, I’ve kind of been slacking off in class lately. So how am I going to turn it around in time to pull off an A on my test?  It’s in less than a week!

But you know what? I want to do this. I really want to give Uncle Arte the gift that he is wishing for and make him proud. I’m going to call my friend, Alex and ask him for help. All I can do is try, right?

    it’s always better to do a little bit of school work each day than to cram it all in one week.

    Does Sparky live with his uncle? He never talks about a mom or dad, just his uncle Arte.

    Sparky, you really just need to take some time off from anything not school related. Just go a week with pure studying, you’re sure to do well on your test. You need to, if you want to please Uncle Arte. School is more important, sadly, than hanging out with friends and stuff like that. Good luck! I know you can do it. :)

          • Northwestern...study, PLEASE says:

            You don’t have to study all the time. Just an hour a day. Don’t cram it in all at once. If you cram, it won’t help. Break up your hour of studying into fifteen minute long sessions. Don’t do it late at night when you’re tired or watching TV. Try turning a radio to your favorite station to play in the backround. And when it comes time to take the test, don’t rush, take your time, and if you don’t know a question, skip it and go back. Sometimes the next questions have the answer to the previous ones

    • starburst says:

      hey guys, i have a question. does n e 1 know how 2 get ur pet hungry??? i have been playing for and hour and i need my pet to drink water bottles!!!!!!! help!!!

      • sarahandlacey says:

        Starburst, play a game or switch pets! That works for me a lot of the time! STUDY Sparky, No one likes to study it is just something you have to do! :lol: :mrgreen: ;-) :-) :roll:

        • starburst says:

          thanks sarahandlacey! ill try switching. i’ve been playing with my terrier several days, and i guess she’s sick of eating! thanks for ur help! :lol:

          • sarahandlacey says:

            Your wellcome! I try to help when I can! :lol: :mrgreen: ;-) :-) :roll:

          • sarahandlacey says:

            Another thing is that you want to let your pet get down all the points at once! Don’t feed it every time it gets down 2 points! If you have 10 bottles of water then let your pet go down 10 points and then feed it! Water puts 1 point on your pets hunger! It takes a lot longer to get your pet off of 100%! :lol: :mrgreen: ;-) :-) :roll:

    • dawndrop16 says:

      That’s the idea, Sparky! You have something to work to, so go for it! ~*Dawn*~

    • Kittycatperson says:

      Study hard Sparky! You’ll ace this test! It really pays off in the end! I had to study for a really hard test, I studied until I thought I could recite it in my sleep! I haven’t gotten the test grades though. But I’m sure I did better this time! Study hard!

    • WackyWebber says:

      I’m sure Arte will be proud of you, even if you don’t get an A, but just do your best. That’s all he really cares about, I’m sure of it! ;) ~WW
