Grade 2 Unit 3 - Reader

As we roamed by the lake, Moe Keller gave me a

lesson on rock skipping as a sport.

“What matters?” I asked. “Is it how far the rock

skips or the number of times it skips?”

“Well,” said Moe, “here in the United States what

matters is the number of times the rock skips. But

in the United Kingdom it’s not like that. Over there

what matters is how far the rock goes. Also, over

there in the United Kingdom it is not named rock

skipping .”
