“Fine, but no beer just yet let’s try the coconut shy.” Alexis dragged on Jon's arm to get him to follow. "If your any kind of boyfriend you'll win me a teddy." she exclaimed almost sternly.
Jon sighed and followed her lead. He didn't mind makeing these little romantic gestures and he knew he had a great thowing arm so it was going to be cheaper than buying her a teddy later.
"Step right up, try your arm!" Called a tall shapely girl minding the stand. "You." she pointed at Jon directly. "If you can knock down all three coconuts your Girlfriend there will be the proud owner of a giant stuffed animal of her choice."
"How much?" enquired jon as he fished in his wallet.
"Why all the games on this island are free!" she explained. Then adding as an after thought, "Atleast shall we say the games will cost you no money."
The distinction was lost on Jon, but he was focusing on the part where the girl had said free. "Right." he thought. "I can win her a teddy and it will cost me nothing." Out loud he said, "This island is great."
The tall shapely girl handed Jon three heavy balls. Jon tested their weight and one by one he threw them. Eachtime he was rewarded with a coconut toppling, he even hit one so hard it exploded against the back of the shy.
Turning to the shapely girl he looked very pleased with himself when he said, "Can my Girlfriend have her prize now."
