What Maurice Wrote on Page 2

 

Page 2
 
I am Maurice. I am a true Howler. Ask my mom, Felice.
I think now, before I do anything. I ask if it will hurt someone. Or help?
The reason for that is, I began to see what happened when I did whatever I could,
depending on what I saw in front of me!
Why did I eat the drummer’s cat? She was there. That’s it.
OK. This is page 2 of me writing notes.
So. I should say something about what we are doing now.
I don’t know why I got so bummed in Branson. Maybe it got boring doing it all every day the same.

Dirty clothes, Joe's dirty clothes! Dishes. Etc.
I am a wild thing by nature, after all.
But right now we are sitting in wet grass drinking water and resting. I don’t need rest.
But Sneaky does, and she’s the boss.
Or, maybe not the boss. Maybe she’s just got the best ideas, and we pay attention.
So, we’re sitting in the wet grass on the side of Highway 20.
We’re getting close to Ralph’s place.
Wait til Sue and Joe get a look at him! Because they have no idea.
It was a nice train ride in that compartment with food brought to us and all.
I had to quit smoking on the train. Bet nobody knew about that! I was slick.
But it’s so good to be on land on my own feet and listening to everything and smelling it all.
I feel it all, but I am not good at telling it all. I will keep trying to tell it right.
The most important thing is getting there.
I’m sure it will be easy! I got there other times didn’t I? Yes I did!
Man! I feel like a new Howler!
