This minor transgression leads to an embarrassing moment when he is pressed to share a funny story in front of his classmates by their stern principal, Old Dut. As the story unfolds, there are hints of both camaraderie among Dick and his friends, and trouble involving the reckless Abner Dexter and his abusive tendencies towards his wife, which foreshadows deeper conflicts.
