3 Destination Speculation

CHAPTER 3 DESTINATION SPECULATION Freddy calls. We talk about all the possibilities. Then we pick our favorite one. Freddy wants to go to Pizza Mutt. I choose Dizzyland.

But we'll probably be going to the nature museum or the art museum. At one, you look at the charts, and at the other, you look at the arts.

Freddy still holds out for Pizza Mutt. He always looks on the bright side. He's an optometrist.

Then Eric calls. He always looks on the dark side. He's what they call a messymist. He says that there's a 50- percent accident rate on class trips.

Half the class will be carried off by wild animals, fall off a high mountain, or drop into a deep hole. We choose our favorite. We both pick dropping into a deep hole, so we can pretend to be golf balls. OUCH! I HATE CATS! Then Randy calls and says that sometimes you go to really dangerous places. Your parents have to sign a release form.

One class went on a picnic to an active volcano. It erupted and all they ever found were 15 toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
