Doyle thought he had the worst luck. Misfortune seemed to find him much too often. One day, he dropped his ice cream, and it landed scoop down on the sidewalk. On another day, Doyle went to play basketball with his friends. The ball he brought had leaked all the air out. They could not play with the ball anymore. Doyle's bad luck even followed him to the library. He checked out four books, and every book had pages that were missing. Poor Doyle hoped his bad luck would get better!
