CHAPTER 13

TEN THINGS I WAS CONSIDERING SAYING TO NICK MCKELTY TO GET HIM OUT OF THAT BOOTH

1. Why don’t you make like a tree and leaf?

2. What are you doing here? Did someone leave your cage open?

3. I’d like to invite you someplace special. It’s called outside.

4. I hate to see you go, but I’d love to watch you leave.

5. I thought they only allowed humans in here.

6. Why don’t you go to the library and brush up on your ignorance?

7. Before I saw you I was hungry. Now I’m fed up.

8. I’m very busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?

9. I’d like to help you out. Which way did you come in?

10. King Kong’s calling you. He wants his face back.
