"It's best always to carry potatoes with you," said Scoutmaster Safety First.
"After this I'm always going to carry five or six," said Pee-wee.
"The proof of the potatoes is in the eating," said Nick.
"I know nine different ways to cook them," said Pee-wee; "and I can eat them raw so that makes ten. I can eat potato skins too, so that makes eleven."
"If you could eat potato-bugs that would make twelve," said Charlie Norris.
"If you eat lightning bugs, that will make you bright," said Pee-wee; "that's what Roy Blakeley says; he's in my troop. He's crazy and he says he's glad of it. We've got three patrols in my troop and I'm a member of the Ravens but I'm kind of in all of them. I know all about camping and everything. In the fall you're supposed to camp east of a hill, do you know why?"
"No, break it to us gently," said Nick.
"When you said break it, that reminded me that I can break an apple into halves with one hand."
"Do tell," said Charlie; "what do you do with the other half?"
