Excerpt: I was sitting right that minute in a big white rowboat that was docked at the end of the pier which ran far out into the water of the lake. From where I was sitting, in the stern of the boat, I could see the two brown tents where the rest of the Sugar Creek Gang was supposed to be taking a short afternoon nap-which was one of the rules about camp life none of us liked very well, but which was good for us on account of we always had more pep for the rest of the day and didn't get too tired before night.
