Horrible Harry in Room 2B (5 page)
Harry grabbed his paper cup and trapped the bee on my bread. Then he took the sandwich with the cup on top of it and walked it to the trash can.
Harry dropped the bee inside the can and closed the flap. “Some jerk is gonna get a big surprise when he opens this!” he said.
Then Harry offered me half of his sardine sandwich.
“No thanks,” I said. “I can't eat sardines now. They look too much like the fish in the aquarium.”
Harry stared at his sardine sandwich. He looked sick.
He ran to the trash can and threw it in.
That was when Harry got his big surprise.
The bee flew out of the trash can and stung Harry on the cheek!
Boy, did Harry yell!
I felt bad for him.
Miss Mackle got out her first-aid kit and put something on Harry's bee sting.
When it was time to go, Harry got on the bus first and sat in the back seat by the window.
Alone.
As I walked up the bus aisle, Sidney moved over. “Want to share a seat with us, Doug? You don't want to sit with that canary Harry.”
That's when I made a fist. “Don't call Harry a canary.”
And I went over and sat down next to Harry.
“You don't think I'm a jerk?” he asked.
I shook my head. He did try to help me. He got stung because of me. I reached into my lunch bag and handed Harry my last chocolate chip cookie.
“Thanks, pal,” he said, and he ate every crumb.
Harry isn't always horrible.
Just once in a while.
