Bud, Not Buddy - Chapter 4

Why was the first part of Bud's revenge plan to get the gun out of the way?

• He thought he might need it later, so he hid it where only he could find it.

• He knew it was valuable to the Amoses, and he wanted them to see it was missing so they would be upset and worry about him.

• It was in his way for the second part of the plan.

• He was afraid the Amoses would use it on him if things went wrong.

What was part two of Bud's revenge plan?

• He poured water on Todd's pajama bottoms while Todd slept, to induce him to wet the bed.

• He beat the stuffing out of Todd then ran away as fast as he could.

• He reported the Amoses to the authorities at the home so no other boys would have his same bad experience.

• He put the hornets' nest in Todd's bed.

"As quick as a rabbit I looked under the table to see if thy'd moved my suitcase."
