“That’ll be nice,” Garry said.
“Won’t I be glad!” said Bert.
“Just you follow me,” Pee-wee said.
“We’re following,” I told him. “We’re following our leader wherever he goes. We know the animal cracker knows the woods. Have another apple?”
Next he left the tracks and cut over to the left where we could see a road through the trees. He hit into the road and hiked along.
“Sure you’re right?” Bert asked him.
“Do you think I don’t know the way?” the kid said, very disgusted.
“Don’t start to ask questions, or hint, or propose,” I said.
Pretty soon he came to a crossroad and g-o-o-d night magnolia! Right there, staring us in the face was the fickle signboard that I had turned around. Oh boy, you should have seen Pee-wee. The apple he was eating fell out of his hand and he just stood there staring. He couldn’t even speak.
“Don’t ask where you’re headed for nobody knows,” Hervey said.
