“Are you going to write a story about him?” ask Tiffi. “How many have you written so far?” 

Elsa tells her that she has 103 stories so if she does this it will be #104. Tiffi can’t wait to get home to do some googling. She tells Elsa that she will call her later.  

No sooner does Tiffi walk inside her house she heads on over to turn on her laptop and makes a quick sandwich. As she tries to think of where to start the search her phone rings and it’s Kimmy calling. She tells her sister that she met this nice old wise man named Rip and he’s going to be teaching history in school. She tells her that she’ll call her back later because she wants to help him gather some history. It doesn’t take her long to find some interesting history facts.
