He stopped and looked in it, an old bum found him and asked what he was doing. Charles and the bum (George) became good friends, and Charles would visit him as much a he could to watch him make the statues. The bum made statues in the cave wall. One day Charles was looking for a cave, and when he found one, he went strait to his gang. They all went to see the cave, and let Charles go first. Charles flew down a tunnel very fast and landed in a bigger cave. After trying to find a way out he discovered he had led the gang to George’s cave. He went up to the gang and told them that it was nothing. Finials were coming up in school, so Charles had to stay inside and study. When summer came, he went back to see his best friend, George. When he got to the cave, he found that the gang was in it and broke all the statues. The gang said that when the bum came back and saw the statues were gone, he left. Charles got very mad at ht gang and at himself. And felt very bad for the bum. But to get back at his gang, he decided to get together with the other gang, and have them do something bad to his gang for revenge.
