SLAP BACK JACK "HIGH FIVE MASTER"

"There is a boy on a ball team who can't do high fives. His coach told him to go to this guy named Slap Back Jack and he will help him. Slap Jack fed the boy and showed him where he could practice fancy fives. He practiced for a while and was able to do all sorts of cool high fives at the next ball game. His teammates were very happy." "It shows that you should treat people nice and not to feel bad when you can't do something. If you practice you can learn things."

Kids thought maybe they should show it at school so the kids would not make fun of others when they don't know how to do something.
