“All I’m saying, Wallace, is if you were going to steal something, why didn’t you take a pair of shoes? That’s something you need.” “Aw, shoot, Tan,” he whined, “you take the fun outta everything. It’s almost summer. I don’t need no shoes for summer.” “You don’t need shoes at all,” I said. “All you need is one shoe. One shoe, Wallace.You can’t get anything on your right foot.You’re being punished for stealing. God saw you take that bike, and He’s punishing you so you can’t ride it. Now you can’t run, or walk, or ride that ol’ stupid bike.”
Tangy is so caring, thoughtful of her siblings and wise!
