On Friday, after Mr. Brisbane and Mrs. Morgenstern left, Mrs. Brisbane made a surprising and shocking announcement.

“Class, we were so busy with our boats this week, I forgot to arrange for anyone to take Humphrey home for the weekend.”

Whew—that statement took the wind out of my sails! For one thing, my classmates usually begged to take me home. For another thing, if nobody took me home, I’d get awfully hungry and thirsty because I can’t go without food and water as long as Og can.

“I can’t believe we all forgot,” Heidi said.

“Raise-Your-Hand-Heidi,” Mrs. Brisbane reminded her. “But don’t worry. I’ll be taking him home with me.”

I felt a lot better hearing that. But I felt worse when she said, “I’m afraid there’s no time for me to read aloud today. We’ll continue with our book on Monday.”

No time to read aloud! Just when Uncle Jolly Roger and Vic and Vi were in great danger! I was about to squeak up in protest when the bell rang. Class was over, the school day was over and as soon as Mrs. Brisbane gathered up her jacket and books, we were on our way out of Room 26 for the weekend.

“Farewell, matey,” I called to Og.

“BOING-BOING!” he twanged in return. I wonder if that’s how frogs say, “Aye-aye.”
