Things Get Rocky

The next week, things got a lot rocki er between Harry and Sidney. When we were getting off the bus, Harry said, “Hey, Sid, how would you like to see me eat rocks for breakfast?”

“Huh?” Sidney peeked in the bag of rocks Harry was carrying. There was mica and pyrite and granite and quartz.

“How’d you like to see me eat rocks,” Harry repeated.

Sidney’s eyes bulged. “I’d love to see you do that.”

“Well, it’s going to cost you something,” Harry said.

“You can’t have my milk money,” Sidney warned.

“I don’t want your milk money,” Harry replied. “I want something else.”

“What?”

“To see if you can run around the playground four times and get to our room before the bell rings.”

“That’s it?”

Harry nodded. “I’ll be standing by the window counting to make sure you run each lap.”

Mary and Song Lee and Ida took a step back. “You’re eating rocks for breakfast?” they said.

“If Sidney does his part of the bargain,” Harry said.

“You’re lookin’ at the roadrunner,” Sidney said. “See you in the room when you eat ... rocks!”

And he took off!

Harry and I dashed upstairs and peered out the classroom window. There was Sidney racing around the playground. Each time he ran a lap, Harry held a finger up.

Every now and then, Sidney would look up to see if Harry was watching.
