Chapter 18
“Shall we give them a hint?” Dani said.
“Sure,” I said.
“We’re going to go on a trip,” he said.
“What kind of a trip?” Bernardo said.
“To a place where they have ducks,” I said.
“And mice,” Dani said.
“Are we going to a zoo?” Marcus said.
“No,” I said, “it’s not a zoo.”
“And that’s all the hints for now,” Dani said.
“Aw,” they said.
“Can we at least ask when?” Giovanni said.
“I don’t know. What do you think, Dani?”
“That won’t hurt,” he said, “why don’t you tell them.”
“Okay. The trip will take place in October, when it’s cooler.”
“Whoa!” Marcus said. “That’s another hint, isn’t it? That means it’s usually warm where we’re going, right?”
“My lips are sealed for now,” I said.
