Cal and Possum are at the dormitory. By the description, the dormitory does not look like the dorm that we live in. It feels like it will smell and the beds will never be good. Also, it says that a lot of students are in one room of a dormitory. Then Pop and a teacher came in and the teacher showed the room to Pop and explained that it is a very good dorm.

Possum brings Cal to a tree. They climb up the tree. The tree is for Possum to keep is precious things because the teachers in the Indian School often take student's stuff. The interesting thing is that Possum has a gun that he hid from the teachers. In the tree, the boys can share what they have got because the teachers does not know that they are there so Cal and Possum can know more about each other.

Cal and Pop are in hobo jungle for a night. They are planning to wake up tomorrow morning and going to the train station.

In this chapter, Pop tells Cal about what Cal does not know about his family. Cal was not pleased that Pop did not tell him about his grandparents and grand-grandparents. Pop says that hiding it from him was an act to defend him. I could not understand why they had to defend from the fact. If Cal's parents told him that fact, later on, he might think that he was the only one who did not know the truth and be shocked.
