   once there was a little boy who wanted his dad to teach him how
   to 1)play catch. One sunny day the little boy’s father was sitting on the couch, drinking a beer, while watching a 2)baseball game. The boy rushed into the house exclaiming,
   “Daddy, daddy, daddy, show me how to play catch!” The father, 3)blankly starring at the television screen, replied “In a little while son, let me finish watching this 4)inning, come back in five minutes.”
  “Okay, daddy” said the boy and ran out of the room. Five minutes later the boy returned screaming “Daddy, let’s go, let’s play some catch now!”
  The father turned to the boy and said “Hold on son, the inning is not quite over, come back in five more minutes.” “Okay, daddy” said the boy as he 5)shuffled out the room. Five minutes later the boy returned with ball and glove in hand eagerly waiting for his father to play some catch.
  “Daddy, let’s go, I want to be 6)Ken Griffey Jr.!” shouted the boy.
  By this time, the father had 7)cracked another cold beer and another inning was taking place. Frustrated by the boy’s constant 8)hindrances, the dad 9)scanned the room. While scanning the room the father noticed a magazine underneath the 10)coffee table. On the cover of the magazine was a large picture of the world. The father, who was angered and annoyed, began 11)tearing the magazine cover into small pieces. After a few moments, of 12)shredding up the magazine cover, the father placed the torn pieces on the magazine. Then, the father turned to his boy and said “Son, once you put this picture of the world back together we can play catch, but do not interrupt me again until you are done!”
  13)Apprehensively, the boy took the magazine and 14)sulked into his room. As he 15)sobbed “Okay, daddy, I won’t”.
  A few moments later the boy returned and said, “I’m done daddy, can we play catch now?”
  16)Stunned, the father glanced towards his child, and there in his small hands laid the magazine with the world 17)pieced perfectly together. Amazed, the dad asked his child how he put the world together so quickly.
  “It was simple,” stated the boy. “On the back of the world was a picture of a person, and once I put the person together that’s when the world came together.”
