Herbie still didn’t want to go to baseball practice even with his new name. Do you want to take the long way by the the swimming hole? asked Herbie. Sure,said Raymond. Raymond’s dog shadow followed behind. Herbie heard something and stopped did you hear that? said Herbie. I hear splashing souds in the swimming hole.Herbie said who would be swimming at 9:15?They cheked it out and there was a lady swimming. We better get going before my Uncle gets mad at us for being late. Shadow got the lunch out of the ladys stuff and brought it to Herbie and Raymond. Shadow ate the sandwich and Raymond was not happy.  Maybe we can replace it, said Herbie Raymond tried to geuss what it was.Herbie smelled inside Shadow’s mouth and said it was liverwurst. How are we going to replace a liverwurst sandwich?Raymond rode home on his bike and got a liverwurst sandwich and put it in a brown bag. Herbie saw her do a dive,she reminded Herbie of a movie star. Herbie thought the morning was turning out to be fun. Herbie took a step back,He knew that person that was his 3rd grade teacher! Herbie could hear someone peddling down the pathway. It was Raymond with a brown bag. Herbie said it was Miss.Pinkham. Then Raymond was suprised that was Miss.Pinkham shhhhh! said Herbie. We didn’t have liverwurst in our frige so I made her a liver sandwich. A LIVER SANDWICH? shhhhhh! said Raymond.They both went out and put the bag on her towl and ran back. As soon as they got there Shadow pounsed on them,as theygot Shadow off one eye of Miss.Pinkham opened and she saw them. Nice to see you boys here. She said to then to sit down. Herbie was not breathing easily. She said a good morning swim because no one was there. We’ve been to the libary many  times this summer said Raymond.
