Marbles were really popular. The most desirable marble was a “king king steely” which in reality was just a big ball bearing a kid brought. But everyone wanted it. If you went up against the kid who has it you had to have a good marble and hit him five times while he only had to hit you once. I took my crack and hit him three times before he got me. Lost one of my best marbles because of that but at least I took a chance. Anyways a kid finally beat him and won the king king. But the other kid wouldn’t give it up. This led to a masssive argument and in turn we had an assembly, letters went home and the whole deal to ban all marbles from the school yard.
