Jason heard a knock on the screen door.

“Come in,” he said.

In came the Cul-de-sac Kids.

Abby and Stacy.

Dunkum, Shawn, and Shawn’s little brother, Jimmy. Abby’s little sister, Carly, with her best friend, Dee Dee Winters.

And Eric.

“Where’s your science project?” Abby asked.

Jason was speechless.

“Yeah, let’s see those super sprouts,” Eric said.

“I . . . uh . . .” Jason knew they would laugh. He couldn’t tell them.

Stacy looked at her watch. “We better get going. We don’t want to be late.”

The kids were too excited to wait for Jason. They left for school. Without him.

Jason decided to look outside for his sprouts. He went around the side of the house.

He sniffed the air. He coughed. Something smelled rotten, like three-week-old gym socks!

Eric’s grandpa was sitting on the porch next door. “Good morning, Jason,” he said.

Jason stepped closer. “What’s that smell?”

Mr. Hagel was spreading cheese on some bread. “This, young man, is my favorite cheese. It’s called Limburger.”

Jason pinched his nose shut. “Smells horrible!”

Mr. Hagel grinned. “Ah, but the taste is out of this world. Care for some?”

“I . . . uh . . . better not.” Jason stepped back, away from the odor.

“Just try it,” Mr. Hagel said. “Have it in your lunch, maybe.” He wrapped a lump of it in plastic and gave it to Jason.

“Uh . . . thanks.” Jason stuffed the nasty-smelling cheese into his pocket. He would toss it in the trash later.
