THE GAME OF PETANQUE

THIS WAS THE LONGEST GAME THE GROUP HAD EVER EXPERIENCED. IT TOOK HOURS TO PLAY. THE SCORE WAS 12 TO 12. GARY WAS ONE OF THE BIG SCORERS ALONG WITH EVEVEE. THIS MADE HIM VERY POPULAR. GARY WAS RIGHT AT HOME. GARY'S BALL WAS THE CLOSEST TO THE PIGLET TO WIN THE GAME UNTIL THE DESTROYER KNOCKED IT OUT. PIERRE FINALLY SCORED THE WINNING POINT.

The Piglet

or smallone.

EVEVEE

AT 86 YEARS OLD THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT COULD STOP EVEVEE. SHE TOOK DEAD AIM AND WAS USUALLY WITHIN 8

INCHES OR CLOSER TO THE LITTLE PIGLET,

WHICH IS THE SMALLEST BALL..

THE DESTROYER

HIS NICKNAME IS THE ONLY ONE WE

REMEMBERED. HIS JOB WAS TO KNOCK ALL OF

THE OTHER TEAMS BALLS AWAY FROM THE PIGLET.

PIERRE

THE ONE WHO SCORED THE LAST POINT TO FINALLY WIN THE

GAME. HE ALSO HAD THE TAPE MEASURE TO DETERMINE WHO WAS CLOSEST TO PIGLET.

JEAN

WAS ONE OF THE CAPTAINS OF THE TEAMS. HIS JOB WAS TO CALL THE

PLAYERS UP ONE BY ONE TO THROW THE BALLS AS CLOSE TO

THE LITTLE PIGLET AS THEY COULD OR CALL IN THE DESTROYER TO KNOCK THE OTHER TEAMS BALLS AWAY FROM THE PIGLET. HE ALSO

SPOKE ENGLISH. HE HAS DUEL CITIZENSHIP. HE IS A TRUCK

DRIVER AND HAS TRAVELED ALL OVER THE US AND CANADA.

BOB

BOB SPOKE ENGLISH AND WAS FROM THE

STATES ORIGINALLY. HE WAS OUR INTERPRETER AND EXPLAINED THE

GAME TO US.

THE PLAYERS

IT WAS HARD TO LEARN THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE THAT ONLY

SPOKE FRENCH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF

EVEVEE. HER NAME WAS CALLED OUT MANY

TIMES BECAUSE OF HER SHOTS.

THIS WOMAN WAS ALSO A VERY GOOD

PLAYER

C APTAIN

HE WAS THE LEADER OF

GARY’S TEAM AND THEY WON BY A POINT. HE WAS

ALSO THE ZAMBONI, HE RAKED THE GRAVEL IN

BETWEEN GAMES.
