"I'm baaaack" he screamed as he ran into the house, slamming the screen door behind him."Oh dear" his grandmother said. "How did you manage to get off the bus?"
"I bribed the bus driver with the $40 you gave me" he said proudly. "I told you I don't want to go to Summer Camp."
"You're a real Houdini" she sighed. "I guess its just you and me for the next 6 weeks."
"Great. I'm going over to Dave's house."
"I don't think so. You owe me $40. You're doing chores until you pay off your debt."
And so began his Summer of hard labor.
