Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer Page #3

---

you know? We can't afford it.

But if I learn how to do circus stuff,

I can quit school and you can

loan me out to a circus

- and I'll make gobs of money. Please.

- OK, well...

You're not quitting school

and we're certainly not

loaning you out to a circus.

No one in this family

has any imagination!

And Rocky is a circus-freak,

leave-me-behind un-friend!

I am never, not ever

speaking to him again!

But what if you hate circus camp?

Are you nuts?

Why would I hate circus camp?

Because it won't all be tons of fun.

I bet they make you shovel elephant poop.

Ha-ha. Good one.

Yeah, and did you know

it weighs like 200 tons?

Plus, it smells worse

than a corpse flower.

- (HORN HONKS)

- Are you ready for your send-off, Rock?

# For

# He's a jolly good fellow

# He looks like a bowl of Jell-O

# And all his teeth are yellow

# Which nobody can deny

# And now we're saying goodbye

# And now we're saying goodbye

# For he's a jolly good fellow

# But now we're saying goodbye #

Bye, guys! Miss you!

See you in a while!

Bye!

Think of me when you're

on elephant poop duty.

I will. And also when I'm

taming lions and juggling swords.

- You ready, kiddo?

- Yeah.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Bye.

ROCKY:
Bye, guys!

Don't have too much fun while I'm gone!

(SQUEAK TOY SQUEAKING)

Remember, if camp is super boring,

you can always come home!

And don't say I didn't

warn you about the poop!

ROCKY:
Oh, I forgot! I...

(VOICE FADES)

I can't hear you!

(DEEP EXHALE)

So why are you going to Bored-eo?

Because of this lost tribe

called the Penan.

They've lived in the rainforest

since forever,

but all their land is being

destroyed because of logging.

So anyways, my mom's going there

so she can write an article on them

and hopefully we can save them.

You're so lucky.

I never get to save a lost tribe.

I wish you could come.

It's not that far away, you know.

It's only like 9,000 miles.

Lots of people go to Borneo

for a vacation.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Does it cost like a zillion dollars?

I don't think so.

Then maybe we could go.

There's no reason we have to spend

every summer at Grandma Lou's, right?

WOMAN:
Amy? Are you packed?

We leave in an hour.

I'm ready!

Go ask your mom!

I will! See ya!

In case she says no,

here's something to remember me by.

Sweet.

Oh, Borneo,

I long-e-o to visit you-e-o!

Mom! Mom!

- Oh, Mom! Guess what!

- Yeah?

I figured out how to save summer!

Save summer?

I didn't know it was in trouble.

Listen to this. Instead of going

to Grandma Lou's, boring,

let's go to un-boring Borneo!

Borneo? OK, you know that's like

halfway around the world, right?

So? It's got a rainforest.
