After dinner, Danny and Mike went back to his room. They found a few more things to put in the bag.

At nine p.m. his mother told him for the last time to put out his light and go to bed. He told her he was still cleaning his room. He found a baseball with ripped stitching, a book he'd half-read, and a stick. Mike found a few school papers, a broken pencil, and another apple core under the rug.

They put the stuff into the bag and then they both fell asleep.
