Source text - English It's not melodramatic to say the entire fate of the Dean family was decided that afternoon in the tree. I'm not proud of myself for inciting my little brother to attack my attackers, and of course if I had had any way of knowing that by manipulating his fanatical reverence for sport I was effectively ordering dozens of body bags direct from the manufacturers, I probably wouldn't have done it.
I heard Terry swallow. We all heard it. It was pretty loud. A softness in his eight-year-old face became instantly hard. We witnessed the exact moment he was forcibly disengaged from his dreams. A moment later oceans of tears poured out of him and he made unpleasant guttural noices I've had the misfortune to hear once or twice since, inhuman noises that accompany the sudden arrival of despair.
Source text - English A petite plastic tote
Young travelers will like keeping their small personal items -- coins or gum -- in a tote they make themselves. All you need is an empty film canister or pill bottle and a key ring with a plastic spring-lock clip that attaches to belts or backpacks (the clips are sold in hardware stores and locksmith shops). Help a young craftsperson cut two holes near the top of the canister to accommodate the metal ring, then let her choose beads and ribbons and glue them on for extra pizzazz.
