<span style="color: white;">The King Street Center is such a wonderful place. Who can deny it?
Back to our story about Abdille. It begins when he is</span> [[<b>4</b>]].At 8, Abdille is a friendly boy who likes to joke around and play outside. One important thing happens in his life that becomes part of his journey [[to King Street]].
He goes [[fishing]].
He goes on a [[camping trip in Mallett’s Bay]].
He gets [[ice cream]].
He asks to go to Burger King, but he calls it [["Booger King.”]] And he gets to go!At 4, Abdille faces a few important choices. If you can guess the correct one, you will follow his path to King Street.
He has [[a dream]] about going to King Street and, when he wakes up, asks his parents to send him there.
He [[bounces a ball]] in his house, which gives him the idea of going to King Street.
He [[rides a horse and a donkey]] somewhere.At 9, Abdille gets his own tablet. What do you think he does with his tablet that keeps his moving on his path to King Street?
He watches [[inappropriate videos.]]
He sits around being [[bored.]]
He watches [[Barney videos and videos about Masha the Bear.]]At 11 years old, Abdille faces a few choices. Which do you think he chooses?
He attends [[Vermont Elite]] camp.
He starts going to [[King Street camp.]]
He stays [[home being bored]].While it's true that Abille has dreams as a kid, he didn't dream of King Street. Guess again.Abdille likes to play sports, so this choice makes sense. But it's not the right choice.No one is quite sure what a horse and a donkey have to do with King Street, but this is the correct choice.
After we imagine Abdille riding a horse and a donkey, our story jumps ahead to when Abdille is [[8]].
<span style="color: white;">King Street really is a lovely place. There's so much to do there!
But let's return to Abdille's story at age</span> [[<b>8</b>]]Fishing can be a fun way to pass the time, and maybe Abdille goes fishing. This is not the important step on his journey that leads him to King Street, however.In fact, this camping trip that Abdille took is a step on his life's journey — a stepping stone on his path [[to King Street.]]
Ah, but wait till you see what happens to Abdille when he turns [[9]].Ice cream is a special summer treat, but it does not factor into Abdille's journey to King Street.This is how Abdille pronounced "Burger King" to his father when he was a little kid.
<span style="color: white;">Seriously, this King Street place is something else. Ah, but let's get back to Abdille's story as he turns</span> [[9]].He most certainly does <u>not</u> watch inappropriate videos. Guess again.Bored? Abdille is <i>never</i> bored! Well, maybe sometimes he's bored. But this is not an important step on his journey to King Street. Try another option.Yes, Abdille learns valuable lessons from Barney and Masha. Perhaps he will one day tell us what he learned. In any case, this is an important step on his journey, which brings him [[closer to King Street]] at age [[11]].
<span style="color: white;">Some people claim that there is even a roof deck on King Street. That place sure is full of surprises! But let's return to Abdille's story. He must be getting close to King Street now that he is turning</span> <b>[[11]]</b>.No, Abdille might have enjoyed this, but he is unable to attend. Besides, he injured his hand recently. There are better options for him.
<span style="color: white;">Yes! Abdille is now attending King Street camp — swimming, reading, writing, playing games, using the computer, and hanging out with his friends.
The journey to King Street was long, but Abdille fits in so well, it's like he's been here all along.
Go back to the [[beginning.]] </span>Staying home and being bored is always an option, but that's not what Abdille is up to.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Do you want to read a story? It's about a kid named Abdille.
