Jim Gave Denny a Nudge
Should I begin a shaft?- became the color of llama milk
- Melodrama! Lout!
- jerry-rigged conveniences
- Jim gave Denny a nudge
- he emptied the garbage at night
- he shook it twice
Jim gave Denny a nudge and pointed to the horizon.
Denny’s face became the color of llama milk when he saw the storm clouds gathering above the mountains.
Usually he emptied the garbage at night, but tonight it would be too dangerous.
“Should I begin a shaft?” Jim ribbed. “You could bury the garbage…”
“Melodrama! Lout!” yelled Denny. “This is nothing to joke about! How would we get by without jerry-rigged conveniences such as the garbage can?”
Jim put his head in his hands and he shook it twice. Denny couldn’t tell if Jim was truly sorry or just laughing.
