Timberwolf Revenge Read online

  All of the other players were still laughing.

  Stu looked at Johnny.

  “I have four words for you,” Stu said.

  “What?” Johnny said.

  “I told you so.”

  “You’re right,” Johnny told Stu.

  “Don’t worry,” Tom said. “Tomorrow I’ll go to Mayor Thorpe’s office and tell him I played a trick on you. I’m sure he will understand. You’ll get your stick back then.”

  “No,” Johnny said. “He should keep it. That way I’ll never forget that Stu was right. Revenge is never a good idea!”

  “Getting even isn’t a good idea either,” Tom said.

  Johnny stuck out his hand.

  “Truce?” Johnny asked.

  “Truce,” Tom said. They shook hands. “So I better tell you something.”

  “Yes?” Johnny said.

  “Remember the sardines you put in my coat pocket?” Tom asked.

  “Yes,” Johnny said. “How could I forget?”

  “I put them in your duffel bag when you weren’t looking,” Tom said. “You’d better take them out before you get home.”
