The newspaper was taped in the inside, so Bud snuck out the shed and went inside the house. Right after pouring warm water on Todd’s bed and hiding the family’s shotgun, Bud grabbed his suitcase and headed for the local library.

Buddy got very upset when he found out that he is not an elf but that he is a human. He flees to the bathroom and starts to cry, and his adoptive dad knocks on the door and asks him if he is okay.

I sneaked up the back porch steps to get inside the house. Maybe the vampire bat don't say it , but the only thing thought on my mind was “aha, you doggone Amoses, that hurt, but now i get my revenge!”they haven't locked the kitchen window . it slid open with just a couple of squeaks, then i was inside the amos house crouched down like a cat burglar.

Bud was also a risk taker because he snuck into the house to check on his suitc

One that caught my eye, which I had seen many times before, but never knew any thing about, was a painting called Stone City, Iowa , which was created by Grant Wood in 1930.

When Lefty Lewis drove away Bud walked back into the Log Cabin and opened the next door. When he did he saw his father was not alone. Five other guys were with him, all with an instrument. Then Bud walked fully through the next door and told the old man who was Herman Calloway that he was his father. Herman and the rest of the band fervently disagreed with his claim. The group decided since Bud was so young he got mixed up and Bud should explain where he got this ludicrous idea from over breakfast. Bud went with the majority of the band where they got to know each other along the

When Bud gets there, a man tells him that he is too late. But another man tells him to go back on line with
