How to Eat Fried Worms Page #5

Careful there, Billy. You don't want

to judge them too quickly.

Take it from me.

You... you want to give people time.

I'm not hungry at all.

Eat up, Billy. You don't want to go

outside on an empty stomach.

Move!

Billy.

What are you guys doing?

Time's running out.

And Joe wants everybody

to meet him down by the river.

Why the river?

There's an old lady

that lives down there.

People say she's a witch.

She sells worms

to fishermen.

Huge ones, long

as a person's arm.

Don't tell him that, Adam.

I-I-I meant,

long as a cat's arm.

Where's Twitch?

Grounded 'cause we

wrecked his house,

and destroyed it.

I can't eat anymore

worms, you guys!

I'm gonna quit.

You can't quit.

If you quit then you lose.

Then we all lose.

This is our one chance

not to be losers!

- Woody!

- ~ When the cat ate him up ~

~ His mama said

it's for the best. ~

- Where did you learn that song?

- Erika.

Erika.

She'll know how to get me

out of this stupid dumb bet.

What are you thinking

of her for?

She's a girl!

And, Billy, you called her

a big fat giant, remember?

- I didn't say fat.

- Yeah, but still.

Erika would never

be mad at me.

We're friends.

- Rat!

- No wait, you don't get it.

Don't get what? That you're just turning

into another Joe?

- I'm not a Joe.

- You were being mean like him.

And you're acting like some

person that you're not.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't being mean on purpose.

You try eating worms with marshmallows

and ketchup on them.

Joe Guire is cruel to people, Billy,

and it's all 'cause people let him.

They just do what he says

and he goes around making rules up.

And you're the first person

that ever did anything.

- What did I do?

- You challenged him!

- Well, I wish I never did.

- And so will he when this is over.

Joe Guire is a bully.

Make him come to school

with worms in his pants

and no one will ever

be scared of him again.

What about

the death ring though?

It's just a dumb old ring he

wears to scare people, Billy.

Win this bet and that

ring will mean nothing.

I've never been

in there before.

- Have you, Joe?

- No.

But my brother went

in there once,

he just saw

fishing stuff.

It was really gross

and spooky inside.

You think Wormboy

is gonna show?

If he doesn't...

I win the bet.

There she is.

Some people call her

the two-headed witch.

You know why?

She had two heads once,

but one fell off.

The one that fell off

is in that bag

she carries around

all the time.

Donny, what's that noise?

It's Benjy.

Benjy!

Benjy!

Ssh!

She's not very

friendly looking.

I wonder what her

other head looks like.

Ssh.

"Gone to catch me

some supper."

Plug, try the door.

Why me?

Just do it, okay?

Oh, it's stinky!

Oh, gross.

Interesting.

They've got

dead fish corpses

hanging from

the ceiling.

What do you mean,

dead fish corpses?

That's not funny!

What are you

laughing at, Bradley?

Nothing. It's just

that you seemed kind of...

Scared!

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just scared

for you, Wormboy, that's all.

'Cause there's big giant

night crawlers in there.

From Canada,

my brother said.

Which means

they're gigantic.

We better get started then.

What time is it, Bradley?

You don't ask Bradley what time it is.

He's on my team.

Whatever you say, Joe.

You make the rules.

- 6:
35, Joe.

- Yeah, okay.

Hey you guys,

guess what I found?

Green ones!

Who's got $2?

How about that for technology?

It's like buying a Coke.

Wait, what are

these cups for?

- Plug?

- Yeah.

If Joe loses the bet,

you think he'll really

walk through our school

with worms in his pants?

We can't let him

lose the bet.

We're on his team.

Yeah.

But sometimes I wish

I wasn't on his team.

Like back at The Brown Toad,

when he yelled at me,

I wanted to quit his team!

Then why didn't you?

I'm not brave,

I guess.

Ugh, they really

are green.

Green goes with green.

Spinach from a can,

crown of broccoli.

"Viola!"

You got a worm, Bradley?

It just went

to the bathroom on my hand.

Ugh.

The "Green Slusher" served

in a bed of slush

at room temperature.

Bring it on.

Ugh!

You made it

too thick, Benjy.

Looks like wasabi.

Canadian night crawlers.

There's something

I've always wanted to try.

I'm naming this one

"Radioactive Slime Delight."

I wonder what

he's thinking about.

Perfect.

There you go,

Wormboy.

You might need this.

Who's that trespassing

in my bait shop?

- I'm getting out of here.

- Watch out!

- Come on, let's go. What are you doing?

- A bet's a bet!

What?

What are you doing in here?

Get out of here!

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

Get out of the way

of the head!

I think she went inside.

Are you sure?

I don't know.

Let's go.

Come on, let's get out of here!

Let's go!

Wait! Wait, you guys!

Hey you guys, wait!

Wait up!

Wait up! Wait up!

Wait for me.

She was right there.

Right there!

She hit me in the head...

with her head.

You didn't throw up,

did you?

What are you

doing here, Twitch?

I'm on your team, Billy.

One worm to go.

What time is it, Bradley?

- 6:
52, Joe.

- What's going on?

They're digging

for worms, Joe.

Yeah, but they won't

find any here anyway.

We will too!

Time's running

out, Wormboy.

- Two minutes, Joe.

- We'll never make it.

There aren't any worms

around here anywhere.

- There's got to be!

- There's not, Billy!

We're gonna lose.

We'll never find a worm.

We might as well just...

- A worm!

- Eat it, Billy! Come on, eat it!

Make Joe come to school

with worms in his pants!

- No!

- Move!

No!

That's not fair.

You're a cheater.

Go, Billy!

Go Billy! Go!

39 seconds.

Go go go go!

Get it!

Get it!

Yeah!

Billy! Billy!

Billy!

Billy!

Billy! Billy!

Billy!

10 seconds!

Nine, eight...

seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two...

Boys are so weird!

Hey, Joke.

Now you really are a joke.

Wha... what are you

doing here, Nige?

I came all the way

here to see you win.

Now the whole school's

gonna be laughing at you.

They're gonna be laughing at me

too 'cause I'm your brother.

Leave him alone.

I think you might want

to stay out of this.

Leave him alone.

Yeah,

leave him alone.

Bunch of little worms.

You won.

Shake on it.

Kids don't shake hands.

Shake.

Two sock...

yes, got it.

Got it.

- Week number two, Billy.

- Yeah.

Last Monday seems

like a long time ago.

What's the headline?

Cheating.

- Cheating?

- Yeah.

If you cheat at something

and you win,

and nobody knows you

cheated, do you still win?

The only way to win

is by playing fair.

But what if you didn't

even know you cheated.

Then would it be okay?

Sounds to me like you

already know the answer, Billy.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye, Billy.

Bye, Wormboy.

See you later, Wood.

- I didn't win.

- Yeah, you did, Billy.

You ate all 10 worms.

I only ate nine.

Then how come we counted 10?

The 10th one

was eaten by Boiler Head.

The omelet.

What are we gonna do?

Oh!

Hey, there's Joe!

Oh, there he is!

Look, it's Billy!
