How to Eat Fried Worms Page #4

- Woody's school.

They're doing a performance

and Woody's in it.

We're meeting your dad there.

Come on, I need you

to put on a clean shirt.

What?

Up swim

the sea turtles,

up through

the ocean waves.

And then down, down

swim the sea turtles,

dancing on the ocean waves.

Focus, sea turtles.

Focus.

Focus, sweetie.

~ Sea turtles ~

~ And the beluga

in the deep blue sea. ~

- No, not... come here.

- Yeah!

Focus! Focus!

I am the greatest. Thank you,

ladies and gentlemen.

Billy!

Hey, what are you doing out here?

They got cake inside.

I don't care.

I don't want any cake.

Don't want... don't want any cake?

Whose son are you?

He's just a showoff, Dad.

And everybody says,

"Oh, he's so cute"

just because he's little.

I hate him.

- You don't hate your brother.

- Yes, I do!

And I hate this town

we have to live in.

And the kids at my school,

- they're all...

- They're just kids, Billy.

They're just kids.

Kids are the same everywhere you go.

No.

No, they aren't.

These kids are different.

Different how?

Nothing.

Billy, your, uh, your mother and I,

we, uh, met this woman inside.

She has a son, Benjy,

he's in your class. You know a Benjy?

I don't know

anybody.

Well, she says... she says they're all

playing soccer this afternoon.

- Soccer?

- Soccer, right.

At the field by the creek.

I'll get directions from her, okay?

No, they didn't

ask me.

Billy, come on, when

they see how good you are,

they'll be begging

you to play.

Mm, I don't have

my cleats.

We'll go home

and get them.

Come on, now you're

just making excuses.

You know, you'll go,

you'll have fun.

Look here, have some cake.

It's really...

stale.

- What kind is it?

- Chocolate-covered stale cake.

I can't find any.

They're all over here,

come on.

Whoa, look at this one!

- He's a find.

- Let me see it.

Hey, you gotta show

that one to Joe.

He's really gonna

puke, huh, Joe?

Yup, he's gonna

spew his guts.

What if he doesn't?

What was that, Adam?

Huh?

Well, um...

worms could just

be like meat really.

You know, think of

the first person who said,

"I'm gonna eat a chicken."

Then he ate it and it

was just a chicken.

Then we have

to find out.

Someone get a worm.

- Come here.

- Me?

Don't spit it out.

Chew it.

Chew, Adam.

My God!

Whoa!

Perfect.

You see, that was one worm.

Wormboy has to eat 10.

Joe has a ring called

the death ring.

If he punches you with it

you die.

But you don't die now.

You die in the eighth grade,

so nobody can prove it.

It's got poison in it that goes

into your skin and makes an ulcer.

Very slowly,

you bleed to death.

Death.

I'm running away.

Ow!

I can't run away.

Where will I go?
