It wasn’t a house or anything like that, it was a new school. They decided that they were going to go play on the rocks that were right off the side of the road at the entrance to the new school. They hadn’t put the driveway down yet and they were just going to go and sit on the rocks. The rocks were very big. I mean, about as big as a small car. They were three or four of them all together …show more content…
There was another sign that said, new construction, new fire house to the right. They looked at each other and said, I forget which is which. The yellow monkey said, I think the firehouse was to the left and the school was to the right the last time we were here, but these signs are different.
Well, I guess we need to follow the sign to the left because that is where the schoolhouse is supposed to be. That is what the sign says. Tabitha said, I think you are right yellow monkey. The last time we were here the school was on the right and the firehouse was on the left. Toby said, but the sign says, school on the left, we have to go left. So, they went to the left.

They went back to where the signs were and said, no wait a minute. They weren’t turned around, we were turned around. Yesterday we came from the other direction. So, of course, left was right, and right was left. This time, today, we came from our house, which is the opposite direction. We actually went to the right place. Oh, they said. Now we are really stumped. Just then, up walked the head construction guy who was building everything and said, did you all feel the earthquake this morning?
They said, what? The earthquake, did you feel the earthquake? Yes sire, my cereal moved a little bit and everything shook in the house. He said, it was worse out here, we need to move those rocks from all the way over there to here in the middle of the road, how about that. Ah-ha they said, that is how the rocks got there, it was an earthquake. Oh my goodness. So that is how the mystery of the moving rocks got
