"The Rugrats Fourth of July Celebration"
One morning when Tommy and Dil woke up, Didi told them that that day was the fourth of July. Later, Chuckie, Phil,and Lil came over. "Tobby,what's the foruth of July?" Chuckie asked. "I don't know." Tommy replied. Angelica stormed over to the playpen. "You dumb babies! The fourth of July is the day when people go on picnics and see fireworks." she said. Meanwhile, Didi, Betty, and Charlotte were in the kitchen preparing a picnic lunch. Didi was busy making red, white, and blue jello, Betty was preparing a hotdish, and Charlotte was getting the dishes, silverware, and table cloth. Tommy, Dil, and their friends crept out of the playpen and crawled into the kitchen. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil stood on top of eachother, and Tommy helped Dil get onto the counter. Dil giggled and reached his hand into the bowl of jello, which so far only consited of blue jello powder. Dil took a hand full of powder and tossed it into the hotdish that Betty was making. "Didi,watch it! You just got jello powder in the hotdish!" Betty said. Didi turned around and saw Dil tossing the jello powder around the kitchen. "Dil!How did you get out here?" Didi asked. She took him, Tommy, Chuckie, and Phil and Lil back to the playpen. Dil crawled right back into the kitchen. He put his hand in the jello bowl. Didi had just put some hot water into the bowl,and Dil got burned and started to cry. "Oh my goodness! Dil, be careful!" Didi exclaimed as she quickly took Dil over to the sink and ran cold water over his hand. Finally, everybody went on the picnic. They stayed at the park until it got dark. Then they went to see fireworks. The grownups agreed that this was the best fourth of July celebration ever. THE END
