“The flames were a good idea, weren’t they, Alex?” said Martin. He thought that now would be a good time for Alex to thank him, but Martin’s dad cut in.

“Say, why don’t you boys get together this week to finish your rockets? We have plenty of paint and brushes, right, Martin?”

“Sure,” said Martin in a flat voice.

“How about Thursday?” asked Alex eagerly.

Martin nodded.

“Well. Gotta go,” said Alex. He bolted for the coatrack.

“The flames were my idea,” blurted Martin, but his dad didn’t hear. He was asking Head Badger Bob about helping out at Saturday’s launch.

Martin swallowed hard. A niggling feeling in his stomach told him that maybe he shouldn’t have been so quick to give away his flames idea.

On Tuesday morning, Martin woke up with that same niggling feeling. It grew bigger each time Alex bragged about his rocket at school that day. Several times Martin was tempted to tell everyone that the flames were his idea, but Stuart’s words burned in his head. So he fumed and said nothing.
