Poetry spoke up and said, with a doubt in his voice, “If you were only after the money so you could get the reward for finding it, why did you run away?”
“I was afraid the police wouldn’t believe my story.”
Well, there is the whole mystery untangled for you, and a wonderful camping trip all over for another year.... Boy oh boy! I hope I get to go again next year—if not to the same place, then up to Canada or somewhere where there will be even more exciting adventures than there were this year.
But before that happens there’ll be a whole year full of different things that will happen back at home at Sugar Creek. I just know that something terribly interesting will happen to us before another summer rolls around. In fact, there was a letter from my folks in our mail box at the dock the very day we left camp, saying, “We’ll be looking for you, Bill—and do we ever have interesting news for you! Don’t try to guess what it is—’cause you can’t.”
And—well, all the way home in our station wagon, I did just what my parents told me not to—I kept trying to guess what the interesting news would be....
