I think I'll camp here tonight." I jumped down from the truck."Hey, boy, the driver shouted, "Are you serious?""Sure," I said."Well, now, isn't that strange?" he said. "You know, when I was your age, I did the same thing. Only the different thing was, I was a farm boy and ran to the city, and you're a city boy running to the woods. I was frightened by the city. Do you think you'll be frightened by the woods?""Oh, no!”I shouted loudly.As I marched into the cool shadowy woods, I heard the driver call to me, "I'll be back in the morning, if you want a ride home.He laughed.
