“Oh, Bear, you didn’t get it too wet, did you? Let go,” Max demanded. He smoothed the covers. The puppy dropped the eggplant in front of Max and wagged his tail. “Good boy” was all that Max could say.

At dinner that night, Max’s mom told his dad the story. “Jolie was so grateful. She said it was as if Max could read Rina’s mind.”

“It wasn’t me,” Max insisted. “It was Bear. He’s the one who found the eggplant.”

“Buddy,” Rina said between bites of noodles.

“Yes, Buddy. That’s what you named your new eggplant, isn’t it?” Mr. Harding said.

Rina nodded.

“Max, we appreciate you helping Jolie and Rina. It’s how we make things work in this family,” his mom said. She smiled at him.

Max still wasn’t sure what had happened that afternoon. How could he have heard Rina so clearly when he was all the way outside? He was trying to figure that out when he heard his dad make an announcement.

“We should all go to Max’s football game this weekend,” Mr. Harding said. “He’s playing quarterback.” Their dad pointed his chopsticks as he talked. He always started with chopsticks when they had noodles. Then he usually switched to a fork and spoon halfway through.

“That sounds good. We can take a picnic,” their mom said. “It’ll be fun.”

“I don’t know how fun it will be,” Max mumbled, swirling his noodles in the broth. Adults always made a big deal about how sports should be fun.
