07 Luna Two

Luna Two The next day, Judy came home from school and climbed a tree. She, Judy Moody, was in Trouble with a capital T. Why was her whole family mad at her for letting a toad go free? She was just doing her part to save the world. Stink saw her up in the tree. "Hey. No fair! Mom and Dad said you had to go straight to your room!"

"This is my room," Judy said. "I'm going to live up here now. Like Julia Butterfly Hill." "Who?" "The girl who lived in a tree for two years. Mr. Todd told us. They were going to cut down some ancient redwoods in California. So Julia Butterfly Hill climbed one of the trees and stayed there. They couldn't cut down a tree with a person in it. She even named the tree Luna." "You can't just live in a tree, Judy," said Stink. "Judy Monarch Moody to you." "Oh, brother," said Stink. "If I live in this tree, newspapers will come. And TV people. Everybody will learn how important trees are. I'll call my tree Luna Two." "How about luna-tic," said Stink.

"Hardee-har-har," said Judy. "Stink, you will have to be the gofer." "Gopher? A gopher sounds like a rat." "An important rat," said Judy. "Go get me my walkie-talkies. It will be like Julia Butterfly Hill's solar-powered cell phone. That's how I'll talk to people." Stink came back with the walkie-talkies. Judy climbed down to a lower branch and Stink stood on a milk crate to pass them up to her. "Now get me a flashlight. It's going to get dark up here." Stink went and got the flashlight. "Now can you get me a glass of water?" asked Judy. "Water? What's the water for?" asked Stink. "I'm thirsty!"

"Forget it," said Stink. "I'll pay you fifty cents." "How long are you going to be up there?" Stink asked, thinking of all the money he could make. "Julia Butterfly Hill was in her tree for seven hundred and thirty-eight days. Sooner or later, Stink, you're going to have to get me some water. And lentils. Julia Butterfly Hill ate lentils." "Lentils! You never ate a lentil in your life!" Stink said. He got a bottle of water. "You owe me fifty cents," said Stink. "We're all out of lentils. I forgot I used them to make my Empire State Building in Social Studies." "I guess I'll learn to like lima beans," said Judy. "Ick."

"Rocky's on his way over," said Stink. "He called and I told him you live in a tree now. I told him you are going to be in big trouble when Mom and Dad find out you didn't go straight to your room." "This is my room." "Then can I have your room inside the house?" Rocky raced around the corner into the backyard. "What's up, Judy? Besides you, I mean?" He cracked himself up. Judy didn't laugh. Judy didn't say a word.
