Había una vez un perro que siempre jugaba con sus amigos los gatos. Pero un día que los animales decidieron jugar y correr. Uno de los perros corrió muy rápido y tropezó con una grande piedra, y el impacto fue muy grande que el perro se golpeó con una pelota en el hocico y eso le causó que perdiera su gran dentadura. Entonces el perro rápidamente corrió hasta un espejo y se miró y vió que había perdido toda su dentadura. Cuando llegó la tarde, el perro regresó a su casa muy preocupado por lo que dirían sus dueños. Los dueños dijeron: "No lo puedo creer, esa es mi mascota." Entonces llevaron a el perro con su veterinario y dijo: "yo tengo la solución para ese problema, yo lo pondré con una dentadura de plástico." Y así fué. Cuando los señores regresaron a su casa, ahora ellos regresaron con una nueva mascota y con una dentadura nueva en el perro.
English translation:
The Toothless Dog
There was once a dog that always played with his friends the cats. But one day the animals decided to play and run. One of the dogs ran very fast and tripped on a big stone, and the impact was really big so that the dog hit himself on the mouth with a ball and this caused him to lose all of his great teeth. Then the dog ran fast to find a mirror and saw that he had lost all of his teeth. In the afternoon the dog returned to his house and was very worried about what his owners might say. The owners said, “I can’t believe that is my pet.” Then they took the dog to the veterinarian and he said, “I have the solution for this problem, I will put in plastic dentures in his mouth.” And that’s how it was. When the owners returned home, they returned with a new pet and with a new set of teeth on the dog.

I believe nobody should not eat chitterlings.
1st because, they're yucky pig intestines.
2nd because, it is where the poop goes.
3rd because, they eat mud.
4th because, they are pork and I can't eat pork, except for pepperoni.

First I think kids should go buckwild because kids don't wanna learn. We wanna play. We wanna rule the classroom. We thirst for power.
Next I believe kids should play because most kids think teachers make learning boring.
Last I think kids should play in the classroom because why waste all our crazy energy on positivity. C'mon let's destroy somethin'.
NO WAIT I DISAGREE.
I disagree because I don't wanna loose all my energy.
Next I disagree because there's 24 hours in a day and we only get 5 hours.
Third I disagree with myself because I just like arguing.
