Crash Chapter 2

By Jerry Spinelli

Chapter 2

It's the next day, and Crash is hanging out outside again. His little sister, Abby, is there, too.
Here comes Penn, saying hello to his new friend, Mergatroid (lol). Crash says his real name is actually Humphrey.
Penn is wearing a new button, so Crash pulls it off his shirt again. But then he doesn't know what to do with it, so he just hands it back. Smooth move, Mergatroid.
Penn points out the house where he lives with his family. Crash says it looks like a garage. We're starting to get the feeling this Crash guy's manners are pretty bad.
The boys talk about Penn's great-grandfather, who won the Penn Relays years ago. That's where Penn gets his name, by the way.
Penn shows Crash his turtle, Thomas. Crash grabs it and pedals off on his bike. He stops after a bit to set the turtle on the sidewalk.
When he gets home, Crash asks his sister if they have a great-grandfather. She doesn't know.
