Little Red Wagon Page #2

What's up, dude?

Good to see you.

You, too.

Thanks, son. You're picking

the cupboards bare, huh?

How many loads is that?

Uh...

Oh, I want you to meet

a friend of mine.

This is Ashley Legare,

a reporter.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

So, young man,

I hear you're personally

responsible for bringing in

two truckloads

of relief supplies?

Well, actually three.

But my mom

and my sister helped.

Excuse me, what...

What's going on?

Oh, I'm sorry.

We're with Channel 5.

Are you his mother?

Yes.

Well, we thought it would

be nice to do an interview

about you and your family

and all the good work

you're doing here.

Um, well...

(STAMMERING)

It was Zach's idea.

So, you know, you

should just talk to him.

ASHLEY:
All right.

Okay. Where you

wanna do this?

ASHLEY:
Well, how did

all of this get started?

Well, we were watching

the news one day, I guess,

and how it missed us,

Hurricane Charley.

So, I was thinking of all

those people in Punta Gorda.

You know,

they lost like

everything.

So, we made flyers and I

got my little red wagon.

This wagon my mom got e

when I was little.

You know?

So, people just...

There was...

There was donations

and we brought them here.

ASHLEY:

Three truckloads,

and he's not done yet,

says young Zach Bonner.

Oh, I can't watch it.

I acted like a dumb kid.

That's okay.

You are a kid.

As for the dumb part...

LAURIE:
Kelley.

It's still good, Zach.

People see you on TV, they

might give you more stuff.

Yeah. That'd be cool.

KELLEY:
Uh,

I don't know about that.

I think you pretty much

played out the neighborhood.

Yeah, you're right.

But we could do other

neighborhoods around here.

Come on, let's go

make some more flyers.

KELLEY:
Mom.

I do not have time to go

traipsing after him

all over Florida.

I have a life, you know!

Let me see.

Where did I put that box?

Here it is.

Do I really have to

get rid of all this stuff?

I told you, you can only

take half that stuff.

There won't be room

in the apartment.

Thank you very much.

Oh. Hey, hold on! I have

some more stuff for you.

I've got this

water purifier.

My husband got it for

our camping trip together.

I'm sure someone could

find some use for it.

Sure, I guess.

Oh! Don't you

just hate moving?

(SIGHING)

Oh, I hate it.

And we're moving

to a smaller place.

House load of stuff in a

tiny apartment. I don't know.

I bet you some of those hurricane

kids would like a Rock Band.

Oh, for sure.

Here, take the box.

ZACH:
Thanks.

Wait. Not that.

My dad gave me that.

I have a tent.

That would be handy,

wouldn't it?

Uh, yeah.

Those poor people. I hear

some of them lost everything.

Oh, they sure did.
