Chapter Ten: Handsome Prince School

Once we were outside the yard and in the alley, I asked Boris O’Bat for directions to the school.

He gave it some thought. “Let me do some calculations: left, right, up, down, sideways, backward. Let’s go . . . west.”

“West puts us back in the yard.”

“Oh, right. Sorry.”

“Go right?”

“No, I said ‘Oh, right.’ Go north.”

“North is left.”

“That’s right. Go north. Forward!”

This was a little confusing but I figured he knew what he was doing, so off we went, hiking up the alley to the north and toward the center of town. I started off in a trot, I mean, this was exciting. But after a while the heat started bothering me and I slowed to a walk. Then I stopped to rest.

“Boris?” No answer. “Are we almost there? Boris O’Bat?”

I heard a snorting sound. “Who called? Where am I?”

“Were you asleep?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Asleep? Well, maybe. Okay, I was asleep. Bats sleep during the day.” He yawned. “What are we doing?”

“You’re taking me to Handsome Prince School.”

“Sure, got it, Handsome Prince School. Take the next right, go two blocks, then hang a left. That’ll take us right to it. Wake me up when we get there.”

Bats snore in their sleep. I didn’t know that, but they do . . . or Boris did anyway. He made a lot of funny sounds, kind of like a miniature pig. I followed his directions and he slept the whole time. When I found myself standing in front of the Dixie Dog Drive-In Café, I began to wonder.
