DON"T LICK THE TABLES!

Oscar headed toward the dining room area and the tall skinny boy who was washing down the tables. "Hi. I'm Jake." The boy said as Oscar walked up. Oscar grinned and waved. "It's pretty easy working in the dining room. All you really have to do is wash the tables and throw away in trash left on the tables. Do you think you can do that?" Jake asked. "I can do that!!!" Oscar was excited...he really thought it was going to go well this time. "Good. Here is the cleaner and a cloth. Let's get started." Jake said.



Oscar licked the table!

 Oscar grabbed the supplies and headed toward a table that a mom and little girl and had just left. He grabbed the bottles and tried to spray. SQUEEEEZE! Nothing. SQUEEEEZE! Nothing.

Oscar hopped down but he still thought that licking the table was a better idea. I can't believe that Sam hired this guy! Thought Jake. "Why don't you just clear the tables of trash...I'll wash them. OK?" Jake asked. Oscar nodded and trotted off toward a table that a group of teenagers had just left. "WHAT A MESS!" he said to himself. The table was covered with french fries. MMMMMM...Oscar was thinking. "It really seems like a waste to just throw these away..." He looked around and then stretched he nose across the table and....CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! He gobbled the fries as fast as he could. Just as he was grabbing the last fry he heard the door opening; he looked up and saw...
