Here's the beginning of the story:

The morning sun awakens you, but you pull the blanket over your eyes.

     I don't want to make bricks, you think.

     Suddenly, your cover is ripped away.

     "Time to get up, Mud Pie," your brother, Joktan, teases. He thinks his job is better than yours, because he’s a bricklayer.

Now you have to make a choice.  Will you ignore your brother or try to get  even with him?
