It’s hot,
and Bones and Wawa
want to go
down to the river
to cool off.  

They think Butch
might like to come along.  

They go up
and knock on Butch’s door.  

Bones and Wawa
ask him to come for a swim.  
Butch says—

“Nah,
I can’t hang with you guys
anymore.  

My Mom says
you guys are no good,
and your families
are no good either.  

She says that you two
do strange stuff at night.  

She won’t let me play
with you two no more.”

Bones and Wawa
feel bad for Butch,
because he’s not allowed
to go with them.  

Butch will have to
sweat it out
in his hot old house.  

They just shrug it off,
and enjoy their swim
in the river.

Bobby

Thanks Yann,

Well, you know how it is.  Butches Mom could have just said no.  Now shes gone and antagonized Bones and Wawa.  That's never a good idea in the hood.

Bobby
