Step-by-step explanation:
Chapter 3:
Bud tries hard not to panic in the pitch-black darkness of the shed. The eyeballs of three dried-out fish heads stare back at him as he tries the doorknob, which he hopes Mr. Amos only pretended to lock. While deciding where to lay his blanket and pillow, he remembers the story of the cockroach crawling into his best friend’s ear back at the Home. From the story his friend, Bugs, tells, the cockroach was yelling, “My legs! My legs! Why have they done this to my legs?” while adults tried to extract it with tweezers. Bud wants to avoid any encounters with the cockroaches that are surely crawling over the shed’s floor, ready to crawl in his ears. He spreads his blanket on the top of the woodpile and climbs up.
Bud attacks the bat with a rake, only to discover that he has disturbed a hornet’s nest. Hornets sting him as he grabs for the doorknob hoping for escape. In his haste, he forgets about the fish heads with their razor-like teeth. He screams as the teeth cut into him, and the hornets continue to sting. He manages to escape through a window above the wood pile and falls to the ground, slapping at the hornets still attacking him. He heads towards the Amoses’ house, set on revenge.
Chapter 4 Summary:
Bud climbs into the Amoses’ house through an unlocked window. He finds his suitcase still under the kitchen table and puts it on the back porch step. Back in the house, he grabs Mr. Amoses’ shotgun and hides it outside, so if the Amoses wake up, they wouldn’t use it on him.
Bud returns to the kitchen. He fills a glass with warm water and heads up to Todd’s room. Todd is sound asleep. Bud dips Todd’s fingers in the warm water, hoping he’ll wet his bed. When he doesn’t, Bud pours the water on Todd’s pajama pants, causing Todd to soak his sheets. Bud creeps out of the house, grabs his suitcase, and heads toward the road, now “on the lam ... just like Public Enemy Number One.”
