The Bare Bum Gang And the Valley of Doom
“What do you want?' That huge ugly head with the eyes, nose and mouth all squished together in the middle of his face peered out at me from the flap at the front of the Dockery Gang tent.
I swallowed hard and said it.
'I want to be in your gang.' Dockery, followed by Stanton, Furbank, Larkin and Hughes, piled out of the tent. It hadn't looked big enough to hold them all, but somehow they'd all squeezed in, and now they squeezed out.
They formed a circle all around me.
'Is this some kind of a jok...e?' said Dockery.
'Because if it is, it isn't funny.' 'It's not a joke. I'm not in the Bare Bum Gang any more. I want to be in your gang.' Now, you're probably amazed and disgusted by this. I know I would be, if I were you. How could I even dream of joining the evil Dockery Gang? Weren't they all bullies and wicked villains and really, really naughty?
Yes.
Yes.
And yes.
But I had no gang and no friends. I was alone and defenceless in a cruel world. I thought that even a rubbish, nasty gang like Dockery's was better than no gang at all.MoreLess
