Victor invited his friend Gus to his ranch. There they went horse riding and played cowboys and indians. Victor tried to do a trick that he seen on TV. He tried to jump on to a branch and swing on it, but he missed. He hit the tree and got knocked out for a little bit. (lol) After Gus woke him up it started raining and a whole bunch of snails came out of the bushes. Gus and Victor killled them for fun. And they also burned a lizard alive. Later that night, Victor had nightmares about the snails and lizards. He kept running to his mom until his dad finally told him to go pray by himself and ask forgiveness for what he had done and the he would be able to sleep.

Victor had to go back to school by the end of the summer. He didn't want to go back, but had no choice. At school, his class had started reading and he was in the reading group, while most of the mexican kids were in the slow learners group. He always skipped his turn on reading and lied about reading because he wasn't very good at it.
