âI didnât steal it,â said Bea. âI borrowed it. Thatâs what the baskets are for.â
âYeah, but for their class.â
âThey should share,â said Bea.
âEveryone will know you took it,â said Buddy.
âYou took it, too.â
âMe?â said Buddy. âI did not!â
âBut youâre my buddy,â said Bea. âAnd what one buddy does, the other does, too. Itâs the Buddy Rule.â
âWeâre not buddies!â yelled Buddy. âAnd I never even heard of that Buddy Rule!â
Buddy grabbed Beaâs arm. He tugged on it. He knew he wasnât supposed to. But sometimes? With Bea? He forgot. He tried to pull her back toward Jabariâs classroom. âYou have to put it back!â
Bea yanked away. âLet go!â she said. âWho wants to be your buddy anyway? Youâre a bad buddy. I thought you wanted to be a spy!â
âI was a spy!â said Buddy. âI donât want to be a stealer!â
âA stealer?â said Bea.
âI mean a thief,â said Buddy. Sometimes, with Bea, he got so flustered, he even forgot the right words.
Bea puckered her face. âAre you going to tattle on me?â
Buddy didnât like to tattle. So he probably wouldnât. âI might,â he said.
Bea huffed. âAll right.â She turned on her heel to go back to Jabariâs room. She crept up, hugging the wall. Then she kissed the book. âI love you, little bluey bird,â she said.
âYouâre slobbering on it!â said Buddy.
Slowly, sneakily, Bea reached around the doorway. Just her arm. She set the book back inside.
After that, Buddy and Bea ran until they got back to Room 2â108. They shut the door behind them.
Ms. Maple walked toward them, smiling. âDid you give them the book?â she asked.
âYeah,â said Buddy. âThey put it in their bird basket.â
âOh,â said Ms. Maple. âThey have a basket just for bird books?â
âEverything in their class is birds,â said Bea. âEven all the names on their list. That whole place is birds. Birds, birds, birds.â
Buddy thought of a question for Ms. Maple. Heâd wondered it before. But he kept forgetting to ask. âAre you going to take us tree-watching?â he asked.
