Ricky was a young boy. One morning Ricky's
teacher told the class about a school play. She asked
Ricky if he wanted to wear a white shirt in the play.
Ricky shook his head no. She took out a big
mustache, and Ricky nodded yes.
Ricky played with the mustache all day. When
school was over, the teacher told the class to leave
their costumes in their desks. But Ricky wanted to
wear the bushy mustache home.
When he got home, Ricky asked his mother if he
looked different. But she didn't see anything
different about him. Ricky had lost the mustache!
After dinner, Ricky tried to make a new mustache.
He looked in the mirror. It didn't look real. That
night he told his father about the mustache.
The next morning, Ricky's mother gave him a big,
bushy mustache. It was his father's mustache!
Ricky thanked his father. His father told him that
