for the world to hear。

I did try to climb it once in the fifth grade。 It was the day after Juli had rescued my kite from

its mutant toy…eating foliage。 She climbed miles up to

get my kite; and when she came down; she was actually very cool about it。 She didnt hold

my kite hostage and stick her lips out like I was afraid

I was relieved; but I also felt like a weenie。 When Id seen where my kite was trapped; I was

sure it was a goner。 Not Juli。 She scrambled up and

She tried to get me to e up there with her; too。 “Bryce; e on! You wont believe the
