There were a lot of people waiting over at the station. We just sat there on a baggage truck waiting. Will went in the station and came out again. He said he wanted to find out if the train was on time. I was kind of sore at him because he said he didn’t feel mean, but I wasn’t going to be scrapping with him and let Dub see it. He kept looking at his watch all the time. I said, “What’s the idea? Are you in a hurry for Dub to go?”
Pee-wee said, “Let’s tell riddles while we’re waiting.”
I said, “I don’t feel like telling riddles.”
Sandy said, “Shall we play Follow your leader?”
“I don’t feel like doing that either,” I said.
So we just sat there on the baggage truck, swinging our legs. Pee-wee was eating some milk chocolate that he bought in the station. All of a sudden we heard a train whistling.
“Here she comes,” I said.

“It’s ahead of time,” Sandy said.
“It’s ten minutes early,” another one of them shouted.
