I Got My Head Stuck in a Fence

“I got my head stuck in a fence at school today,” Puck announced to the dinner table.

I had already heard about it earlier in the afternoon. This was not the first time Puck had found his head stuck in something at school. Back in 2nd grade, Hans had been called downstairs to rescue him from a chair…

“What!” Oxbear’s eyes grew big, mixing up his taco salad. “Tell me the whole story!”

“Well, I saw this silver bracelet on the ground. So I picked it up and accidentally dropped it on the other side of the fence. So I squeezed my head through the fence to get it, and my head got stuck. Everyone saw me there with my head stuck. But then I pried the fence with my hands and pulled my head out, and everyone started clapping.”

“So…” said Oxbear, “does that mean we owe the school a new fence?”
