Lesson #5: Obey your parents.
Peter’s mama had threatened to skin him
alive if she ever caught him anywhere near that devil’s den. Sometimes a boy’s
curiosity can pull him straight opposite of good sense; but to this point, Peter
had minded and stayed away – up to this point, that is.
All alone on a deserted dirt road with
nobody watching but Norman’s five eyes, the boy commenced to figuring that a quick
sneak-peak of that hangout might just help him understand why he wasn’t
supposed to go there. He glanced here. He glanced there. Presuming the coast
was clear, he slithered down the forbidden path; but around the first bend of
the trail, as Providence would have it, he ran right smack dab into Tom
Weatherby – Peter’s pop.
