It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown Page #3

---

Forty-three to one.

And the one run

was a single by Snoopy...

...that he stretched into a score

by stealing second, third and home.

[EXHALES]

I hope all the queen snakes

leave us little kids alone.

What a thrashing.

And in softball, my strongest point.

I bet they're happy.

They really beat us.

It must feel good to be a winner.

I bet they feel great.

I wish I felt great.

I feel terrible.

Linus, will you please

go bring some more wood for the fire?

I hope those queen snakes

leave us little kids alone.

Hey. There's a spider on that log.

Aah!

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

It's just a piece of bark.

Wow. Look at all those stars.

Boy. I'll bet they're having

a good time up there tonight.

It looks like they're really living it up.

What makes you say that, Charlie Brown?

They've got all the lights on.

Hey, I was right.

There really is a spider on that log.

Aah!

I'm sorry. I was wrong again.

It was just an old cocklebur.

Surprise.

Peppermint Patty?

What are you doing here?

Hi, Chuck. We thought we'd come over

and cheer you up.

Maybe sing a few songs

around the old campfire.

You know, "Pack Up Your Troubles"...

..."There's a Long, Long Trail,"

or "Take Me Out to the Ball Game. "

Mm. I feel terrible.

Come on, Lucy, let's cheer up the troops.

Ooh, ow!

Quit pushing.

BO Y 1:

Ow, ooh, oh.

Quit pushing.

BO Y 3:
Get off my foot.

BO Y 4:
Back up.

[SIGHS]

Bleah.

CHARLIE:

After our rousing breakfast...

...we were

scheduled for a nature hunt with the girls.

Hi, Chuck.

Great game yesterday, wasn't it?

- Beautiful.

- Sorry I had to hit that home run.

For a while there, I considered

letting you strike me out and be a hero...

...but I knew you wouldn't want me

to do that.

- Oh?

- Hey, there's a bug in your hair...

...Charlie Brown.

Where? Where? Brush it off.

That's all right. It's gone now.

That's the one thing I hate

about all this outdoor living.

Well, don't worry.

It's not in your hair anymore.

It fell down your neck.

Help. Help. Help. A bee. A bee.

Aah! A bee. A bee. Aah!

Not unlike Robin Hood.

Look at this. A big yellow butterfly.

It's unusual to see one this time of year.

Unless, of course, it flew up from Brazil.

I'll bet that's it.

They do that sometimes, you know.

- They fly up from Brazil and they...

- This is no butterfly.
