Tiger By the Tail (2013)
“I wanted to get home and get cleaned up before Mom arrived.
“Pretty weird, eh?” Nick asked.
“Different.”
“You going to go back?”
“Yeah. Why not?”
“I don’t know. The animals are pretty cool, but he’s strange,” Nick observed.
“Like I said, he’s different.”
“If Mom knew she wouldn’t let you go back there.”
“Why not? Why wouldn’t she want me to visit an elderly man who’s our neighbour and knew our grandmother?” I asked innocently.
Nick smiled at me. “So what you’re saying is that you think we shoul...d lie.”
“No, I’m not saying we should lie!”
“So you think we should tell her about the gun and the tiger and python and —”
“No!” I interrupted. “I’m just saying that we shouldn’t tell her everything. There’s no point in worrying her, is there?”
“It’s good to see that I’ve finally had an influence on you.” Nick chuckled. “A bad influence.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” I countered. We turned off the road and onto the long driveway up to our house, which was still hidden around a curve in the lane.MoreLess
