Mayor Hubble Is in Trouble! Read Online Free PDF

all the other humans had been eaten by zombies.

    And then Andrea said those three little words.
    â€œOf course not,” she said. “I can’t stand you.”
    â€œWell, I can’t stand you either,” I told her.
    â€œOkay, then we’re in agreement,” Andrea said. “May the better candidate win.”
    I didn’t say anything else to her as we walked down the hall to class.
    After we pledged the allegiance and did Word of the Day, the whole third grade was called to the all-purpose room to find out who won the election.
    When we got there, there was electricity in the air. Well, not really. If there was electricity in the air, we would all die.
    I spotted Mayor Hubble sitting in the front row. He winked at me. Mr. Klutz climbed up on the stage and made theshut-up victory peace sign. Everybody stopped talking. He took a sheet of paper out of his pocket.
    â€œI hope this election helped you kids learn how democracy works,” Mr. Klutz told us. “You picked your candidates. You watched them campaign. You listened to them debate. You voted. And now the votes have been counted, and it’s time to reveal the results. The president of the third grade is …”
    I’m not gonna tell you.
    Okay okay, I’ll tell you. But you have to read the next chapter. So nah-nah-nah boo-boo on you!

Mr. Klutz was about to announce the winner of the election. We were all on pins and needles.
    Well, not really. That would hurt.
    â€œThe president of the third grade is … NOBODY!”
    â€œGasp!” everybody gasped.
    â€œNobody?” I yelled.
    â€œI’m sorry,” said Mr. Klutz, “but A.J. and Andrea have both been disqualified.”
    â€œWhy?” everybody was asking.

    â€œI have been informed that Mayor Hubble was helping both of them,” said Mr. Klutz. “Officer Spence, arrest that man!”
    Our security guard, Officer Spence, came running over to Mayor Hubble.
    â€œYou’re under arrest!” he said as he slapped a pair of handcuffs on the mayor.
    â€œOn what charge?” demanded Mayor Hubble.
    â€œTrespassing, stealing yard signs, contributing to the delinquency of minors …”
    â€œB-but …,” said Mayor Hubble.
    Everybody started giggling because the mayor said “but,” which sounds just like“butt” except it’s missing a

    â€œThat’s not fair!” Mayor Hubble yelled as Officer Spence dragged him away. “I’m not a crook, I tell you! I’m an honest man! I want my lawyer!”
    After Mr. Klutz made the shut-up victory peace sign and everybody calmed down, the teachers went around passing out slips of paper and pencils to all the kids.
    â€œWe’re going to have a runoff election to determine the president of the third grade,” Mr. Klutz told us. “You can vote for anyone you want, as long as it’s notA.J. or Andrea.”
    Andrea was upset that she was disqualified, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want to be president anyway. I just didn’t want
her
to be president.
    We all voted again, and the teachers collected the slips of paper. It took about a million hundred hours for them to count up all the votes. Finally, Mr. Klutz went back to the microphone.
    â€œThe winner of the runoff election, and the president of the third grade is …,” he said, “… Mr. Wiggles? Who’s Mr. Wiggles?”
    WHAT?!
    Neil the nude kid’s pet ferret was the president of the third grade? Everybodywas hooting and hollering.
    Neil was told to go get Mr. Wiggles. He went running to class and came back with Mr. Wiggles in his cage.
    â€œHooray for Mr. Wiggles!” we started chanting. “Hooray for Mr. Wiggles!”
    Neil took Mr. Wiggles out of his cage and held him up in the air so we could all see him. Everybody went crazy. It was really loud.

    â€œHooray for Mr. Wiggles!”
    That’s when the weirdest thing in the
