Shelly Shrek had a shell shop.

Her shop was next to lots of ships.

The shop was named Shelly’s Shell Shop.

3

Shane Shrek liked shells.

He rushed to Shelly’s Shell Shop to shop for shells.

He had lots of cash.

4

When Shane got to the shell shop, it was shut.

A note said, “Gone fishing.�

Shelly had gone on a big ship to fish for shrimp.

5

Shane was not happy. “How can Shelly shut her shell shop and go fishing?� he asked.

6

Shane dashed to the next shell shop.

It was Trish’s Shell Shed.

But Trish’s shells were not as good as Shelly’s shells.

“I will not spend my cash on these shells,” said Shane.

7

“These shells are in bad shape,” Shane said to Trish.

“I do not like them much.”

Trish blushed.

She was crushed by what Shane said.

8

“My shells are not trash,” said Trish.

“It is too bad that you do not like my shells.

I wish you would take your cash and get out of my shell shop.”

9

Shane left Trish’s Shell Shed in a flash.

He went to Stan’s Fish Shop.

He spent all his cash on fresh fish and shrimp.

“I like fish and shrimp more than shells,” he said.
