in his hands。 “Juli!” he said。 “What are you still doing

here?”

He startled me; too。 I didnt know what I was still doing there。 And I was so flustered that I

would probably just have run home if he hadnt started

struggling with the trash; trying to shove the contents down。

I reached over and said; “Do you need some help?” because it looked like he was about to

spill the trash。 Then I saw the corner of an egg carton。

This wasnt just any egg carton either。 It was my egg carton。 The one Id just brought him。

And through the little blue cardboard arcs I could see

eggs。

I looked from him to the eggs and said; “What happened? Did you drop them?”

“Yeah;” he said quickly。 “Yeah; and Im really sorry about that。”

He tried to stop me; but I took the carton from the trash; saying; “All of them?” I opened the

carton and gasped。 Six whole; perfect eggs。 “Whyd

you throw them away?”

He pushed past me and went around the house to the trash bin; and I followed him; waiting

for an answer。

He shook the garbage out; then turned to face me。 “Does the word salmonella mean

anything to you?”

“Salmonella? But …”

“My mom doesnt think its worth the risk。”

I followed him back to the porch。 “Are you saying she wont eat them because—”

“Because shes afraid of being poisoned。”

“Poisoned! Why?”

“Because your backyard is; like; covered in turds! I mean; look at your place; Juli!” He

pointed at our house and said; “Just look at it。 Its a

plete dive!”

“It is not!” I cried; but the truth was sitting right across the street; impossible to deny。 My

throat suddenly choked closed and I found it painful to

speak。 “Have you… always thrown them away?”

He shrugged and looked down。 “Juli; look。 We didnt want to hurt your feelings。”

“My feelings? Do you realize Mrs。 Stueby and Mrs。 Helms pay me for my eggs?”

“Youre kidding。”

“No! They pay me two dollars a dozen!”
