Jake was slowly
walking along the sidewalk on his way to Midge's house. Up the
street, he saw Booker-T hurrying along the sidewalk.
“Booker-T!”
called Jake, but he kept on hurrying on his way.
“I wonder
what is wrong with Booker-T!” thought Jake as he started
running to try and catch up to him.
“Booker-T!”
called Jake again. “Wait a minute. Where are you going?”
Booker-T began
running in the opposite direction, ignoring Jake's calls out to him.
“I don't
understand,” thought Jake as he stopped and watched Booker-T
turn the corner and disappear from sight. “I wonder what
happened and where he is going? Maybe Midge knows.”
Jake continued
on is way to Midge's house, all the time thinking about Booker-T. He
crossed the street and hurried into the yard through the gate at her
house.
“Midge!”
called Jake as he stepped on the front porch. “Where are you?”
