there.]

 pa lookd at some and said these are too faded we can throw them in the trash. so they put some in a ple for trash. others pa suggested to donate. they separated those. 

next pa called the clothing donation organization. he heard it was far away and asked if they knew one near his area. they did not know. he decided the long drive would use too much fuel. and their frends would be insulted by used clothing. only the poor but they could not donate the faded shirts nor even the few in decent condition due to the distance.

ray announced he would make toys. pa pointed out that he STILL would not drive far whether it was to donate shirts or toys. ramin explained, the toys were for himself, and that his first toy would use the gift shirt. 

he took scissors and tried to cut the fabric but only a bit cut. he askd "pa i need to sharpen my scissors."

they took the scissors to a fabric shop. they asked to sharpen his scissors. the clerk said "we only sharpen the brand we sell and these are for paper." pa took a pair of fabric scissors and said "i will buy this one." ray protested "the whole point is to save and reuse the fabric but if that causes greater expense then it is not saving--if you want to make toys i want you to be able." so ray thankd him. they drove home.

upstairs in his room,  ray cut the shape of a long narrow head from the blue shirt. then he cut a square from a different color, [which? your favorite color my dear reader] finally he cut  two rectangles from the dark green shirt. 

he heard a knock on his door.  "enter" he orderd in a gruff military captain tone. he heard qali giggle from behind the door. she opend the door and imitated the star "isabella" from her fave show by saying "wut-chu due-in"? that is in "phineas and ferb".

"i am making a rag family--good make a special king and queen and princess--hmm despite they ARE special they truly lack any real privilige to manage and govern i mean ask yourself qali how did a king ever START being a king?"

hmm they both thought. qali said "well any prince inherits the throne from his father the king but..." ray let her compoete her thout. "... you askd about the start and no king can really start and therefore holds no privilige for his son to inherit." ramin nodded. "you ray-min are cle-ver.--however, considering these are rags... we can make a RAG king." he suggested. "yes and a princess." ray thout that this was a clever symbol that equated anybody claiming king was worse than the regular guy who did nt rty to claim greatness so the king was truly just a rag. while in rag world he could appoint the king.

"what color should the crown of the king be?--gold" she answerd. ray went to his new pack of briefs and took the yellow. "gross dont use your BRIEFS.--they are new never yet worn." he explained. then he carefully cut a yellow rectangle and then cut angles to make one side like teeth. 

qaali said she wants to aid when he started to sew. she ran to her room and brout her sew kit. she sewd the two leg reactangles to the square and he sewd the yellow crown to the head and loopd it in a larj round crown loop. then he sewd the ends together.

qali was faster finishing both legs quikly she reachd for the head and sewd the head on the square shirt  and askd "why no hands?" so he cut sleeves the same color as the king's shirt and qali skillfully sewd them on.

next ramin pointed to the pile of shirts and asked "which color do you want for the princess. she chose  from the shirts and ray cut a dress shape and legs extending down and arms and a round head. qali watched until she ran to her room and brout a shiny green ribbon. "make her crown smooth with this" she requested.

ray cut a loop from the ribbon, and together they quikly sewed the peices together. qali announced "the queen died." then she grabd the dolls and ran to her room to play the imaginary story. ray had intended the dolls for himself but he realized she would play with the dolls. he could make others for himself but he really did not have time for that so he cancelled his plans to make his own rag dolls. he took all the fabric and gave it to ma, saying "if you want attach and make something." ma replied "i could make a patch blanket." 

ramin then hurried to his soccer practice before the competition. this week his tem, named the cowboys payed soccer against the giants. he didnot have time to play with dolls. he was too busy with sports. inside he felt he was more a doll person than a soccer athlete but he also enjoyed soccer so he would spend time on that, practicing his skills moving the ball passing and kciking.
