He received a letter from Aunt Hattie inviting Leroy to come visit for a week and he's waiting to ride the bus home for a change. I enjoyed, I'm going to enjoy this. I haven't ridden a bus in a long time. Well, here it comes. Right on schedule. Hey, bus! You have a fare! Well, I wanted to be sure you'd stop. I always stop if bus stops. Well, this is an offer and I have an opportunity to ride the bus. How much is the fare this week? Ten cents. Can you change a twenty dollar bill? Oh, no. Here's a dime. Just teasing. Why, this guy? Well, you and I have the bus all to ourselves. Think I'll sit right here behind you. You know why I'm riding the bus today? No. My car's in the garage. Nothing wrong with it, you understand? Just put it in for the eighty-five thousand mile check-up. I believe in taking good care of a car. Don't you? Driver? You hear me? I'm talking to you. What does that sign up there say? A Kraft cheese festival. I mean the one over the bus door. Oh, that one. It says, please don't talk to operator while the bus is in motion. That's what it says. Well, I can understand that. It must be annoying having people get on the bus all day and start asking you a lot of questions. How long have you been driving? Seems like quite a while. This might be my last trip. Leaving the city? Just getting on a quieter line. Where would that be? I don't know how it concerns anybody but me, but I'm taking the run between here and center city. See, that concerns me too. You'll be going through Twin Oaks. Are you going to ride that bus too? No, my nephew's going up there to visit his aunt Hattie. It'll be his first day away from home. But it's my idea that little trips like that are good for the boy. You see, I'm his guardian and I've got a theory. Where's where you get off, Commissioner? Oh, thank you. Good night, stalking to you. Goodbye. Goodbye. Sway, this is my stop. He let me off too soon. To swim in Marvin's pool. Yeah, he loves the water. He's just like a duck. After lunch, he's ducked out here and ducked into Marvin's pool. He's just like a duck. Well, we have a letter from Aunt Hattie. Yeah, so he may not like the bathtub, but he takes to a pool like a duck to water. He's just like a duck. Birdie, we got a letter from Aunt Hattie. Yes? She wants Leroy to come and spend a week. A whole week? That boy's never been away from home that long. Well, it'll do him good. Oh, but he won't want to go. That's nonsense. The best thing that could happen. Yes, but he won't want to go. Leroy's a homeboy. But Birdie, every boy should get away for a while, meet new people. It'll be a fine experience. Yes, but he won't want to go. Birdie, it's all in the way I presented to him. I have great news for you. Your favorite aunt, Aunt Hattie, wants you to come down and have a wonderful time for a whole week. I don't want to go. But Leroy, think what you'll be missing. Well, if you went to Aunt Hattie, she'd let you... Well, you get to... Well, you know how much fun boys always have when they go visit their aunts. Doin' what? Marvin, this is a family affair. Who's Aunt Hattie? Leroy, you've often spoken about wanting to go to Aunt Hattie's. By only last winter, you begged to go. Yeah, but that was to get out of school. Oh, Marvin. Oh. Marvin, let's watch it. Myself. Leroy, you don't realize what a nice trip like this would do for you. It helps you grow up. I'm growin' here. That's not what I mean. It gives you a certain independence, self-assurance, teaches you self-reliance. But gosh, Uncle, we've got the whole summer planned. Yeah. I'll take you to play with him. I wouldn't have Marvin's pool. And think how I'd miss you, Aunt. Well, naturally, I'd miss you too. Okay, I won't go. I'll give you a little going away present. Where are you going? I'm not going anywhere. Oh, if you're not going anywhere, I'm not gonna give you anything. Well, then, why are you trying to get a present out of me? P.V. Leroy's been invited to spend a week with Aunt Hattie, and I want to buy him a present. Oh, very well. Besides, you'll need a new toothbrush, some toothpaste, a couple of combs, gum that's you on the bus. Yeah, well, it'll be a fine trip for Leroy. Sure, P.V., you remember how much good it did you when your parents sent you away from home for the first time? You didn't have to tell me. I ran away. P.V., you wouldn't do that. I'm here to tell you. What'd you do? Decided to join the Navy? No, they wouldn't have me. I was only five at the time. Five? And you left home? Well, I didn't like the way they were running things around there. Oh. I gave my father a few suggestions and he didn't take them, so I packed some things in a paper bag and left. P.V., that's a very touching story. Yes, it is. It was snowing at the time. Snowing? They must have scoured the countryside for you. No, it wasn't too hard to follow my track. Where'd you go? Not behind the barn. Yeah, yeah, cute. I had tension of not to get too far away from home. I know what you mean, P.V. I think Leroy considered this a dark moment for a while. He doesn't want to leave home. It's going to be rough on him. His first time away from home. Boy's going to be homesick. I imagine he'll miss Birdie's cooking. Well, that isn't all, P.V. He'd rather be with me than out there with a lot of cows and chickens. I wouldn't say that. I guess Birdie's packed everything. Yeah. What do you think of this nice camera your uncle bought for you? It's okay. Here's plenty of film. When you get to Aunt Hattie's, you want to take pictures. Pictures of what? The album full of Aunt Hattie. Well, you'll find interesting stuff. We'd better be on our way to the bus station now. Tell Birdie goodbye. Are you ready to leave now? Yeah, we're on our way, Birdie. Come along, Leroy. Okay. Goodbye, Birdie. Goodbye, Leroy. Have a good time. Okay. Birdie, let's not start weeping. I ain't weeping. I know you're going to have a good time. Won't you, Leroy? Yeah, I'll have a good time. Oh, my goodness. Goodbye, Leroy. Goodbye. Take care of yourself. Be a good boy. He's home sick before he gets out of the house. You realize it, but you're just afraid you're going to miss us. The most boys would be glad to have this opportunity. I'll miss you too, but you don't see me trying to keep you here at home. I'll say not. Here comes the bus. Oh, it's a nice big one. Port Brazillianus, Portsburg, Twin Oaks and Center City. Well, I know that driver. Road home with him the other day. Let all the people get on first. It'll give us a little more time to talk. What's there to talk about? Well, this is the first time you left me. We must have a lot to talk about. I can't think of anything, so I'll write you off. Well, that would only remind you of home and obsession. Just forget the writing and have a good time. Whatever you say, Aunt. All aboard. Let's go. Just a minute, driver. Oh, it's you. Yeah, this is my nephew I told you about. He's going to his aunt Hattie's. Well, let's go. Don't let him off until he gets to Twin Oaks. I can't let him off if you don't let him on. I better get on, Aunt. Yeah, wait a minute. Let's check everything. What's there to check? I've got my bag and my ticket. Well, have a good time, my boy. He'll have a good time. Let him get on. I'll be staying on. Leroy? Yeah? You don't really have to go, you know. You can change your mind and stay with your old uncle if you want to. And I thought the city run was tough. No, driver. What do you say, Leroy? You want to back out for a whole week, you know? What the heck? I'm already on the bus now. Bye, Leroy. Goodbye. I'm sorry for the boy. We've never been separated before. Make sure this leave will be back in just a minute.

A couple of days ago, he insisted the boy go visit Aunt Hattie for a week, reasoning that the stay away from home would be good for him. We don't know how Leroy's faring at Aunt Hattie's, but it's a little quiet around the great gilded sleeve's house. Yes, sir. What's that, Bertie? That says a mouthful. What do you mean? You're missing that boy. Well, I might have waited a few years longer before sending him away for a whole week. After all, he's just an inexperienced little boy. Mr. Gilded sleeve, I thought that's why you sent him away to get experience. Well... That's what you said. Aunt Hattie always has a lot of trees full of green apples. I hope Leroy uses good judging. Bertie is no laughing matter. What does Aunt Hattie know about boys? I don't know, but I know something about Miss Gilded sleeve. Well? You got him to go when he didn't want to go and now that he's gone, you're gone because you got him to go. Yes, Miss Gilded sleeve goes overboard. Get him to go and when he didn't want to go and now that he's gone, you're going to pieces because you got him to go. Do not think about it. I do wish I hadn't told him not to write. Hello, Pee-Bee. Hello, Mr. Gilded sleeve. What can I do for you this evening? Nothing, Pee-Bee. I just got tired sitting around the house. Thought I'd come down here in a little while. Very well. I guess you miss Leroy. He's only been gone two days. That's what I'm saying. Well, I imagine he's pretty homesick by this time. He didn't say anything about it on his postcard. You got a postcard from him? Same this morning. Of course, I guess you got a letter. Yeah, well, what does he say, Pee-Bee? How is the boy? You mean you don't know? Well, I just wonder if he wrote you the same thing. How's that? What I mean is the boy might not want me to worry. Is there anything for me to worry about? Not in my postcard. Well, what does he say? Read it, Pee-Bee. Yeah, Mr. Richard Pee-Bee. Care of Pee-Bee's pharmacy, 2503. Not that size. You want me to read the other side? Yes, yes. Good start, sir. Hi, Mr. Pee-Bee. I wrote a course today and milked a cow and made some green apples. I knew it. What's the matter, man? Not a much, you know what I mean? Go on, Pee-Bee. That's all it is except yours truly, Leroy. Oh, my goodness. You might at least let us know how he is. He didn't tell you on his letter? I haven't had a letter. Well, I'm not. I always thought Leroy was fairly fond of you. He is. He's very fond of me, but I told him not to write. That's a silly thing to do. No, it isn't. I didn't want him to get homesick. Well, he doesn't care anything about being homesick. You wouldn't tell you anything, Pee-Bee. He doesn't tell me when he tells you. He does not. He wrote me a card, didn't he? Well, you had no business asking him to write. I didn't ask him. He wrote me because he likes me. He doesn't like you nearly as much as he likes me. Yell at it. Who's jealous? I've been closer to that boy than anybody. I'm like a father to him. Win big. Pee-Bee. Oh, Mr. Yell at me. Here comes a friend of Leroy. Oh. Hi, Mr. Pee-Bee. Oh, hello, Pee-Bee. Hi, Mr. Gillesleaf. What do you hear from Leroy? Nothing. Well... I got a card from him. You, too? It seems Mr. Gillesleaf hadn't heard from him. No kidding. I thought I'd write to Mr. Gillesleaf first. Yeah, well, what does Leroy say, Pee-Bee? Imagine Leroy not writing to you. Pee-Bee, what does he say? Gosh, when I went to the Boy Scout jamboree, my father was the first one I wrote to. Well, Leroy and I had an understanding about that. What does he say? When he left, he said he was going to write to all of his friends, but I guess that doesn't include you. You're only a nun called. Oh. Pee-Bee, what does Leroy's card say? Oh, I got it right here. He says, uh, hi, Pee-Bee. I wrote a horse today and milked a cow and ate some green apples. Zeke. Leroy, too, Pee-Bee. You want to hear what he says? All right, Pee-Bee. I'm getting out of here. You don't want them? I don't want them. Plenty of them? Yes, yes. No use letting them go to waste? Birdie, I've had all the breakfast I want. Yes. With Leroy at home, I guess I cooked too many eggs. You sure you... No, Birdie. Leroy was here. He'd eat them. Oh, dear. Birdie, if you don't mind, let's try not to think about how much we miss Leroy. Yes. We won't think any more about it. Oh, there's a male man. I'll get it. You never mind, Birdie. I'll get it. I'll get it! Anything from Leroy? No, just some letters with windows. Oh, just bills. You ain't expecting anything from Leroy, are you? Well, he's written everybody else. I thought he might break down. Who would be coming by at this hour tonight? Nobody comes in here and says, What do you hear from Leroy? Oh, Mr. Gildersley. Hello, Marvin. What do you hear from Leroy? Oh. Leroy hasn't written up, Marvin. He hasn't? Oh, that's funny. No, it isn't funny. And it's who's nanobotting, but for some reason nobody in this house ain't heard a thing from Leroy. What's she mad about? Yeah, she's a little upset because Leroy hasn't written. What do you want to know about him? Right. I got the dope right here. You have? Yeah, it wrote me a letter. A letter? What does it say? Read it. Give me time. Oh, excuse me. Go ahead, Marvin. He says, Hi, Marvin. That's the way he starts out. Yeah, yes. He says, Hi, Marvin. I wrote a horse today and milked a cow and ate some green apples. What a letter. Did you get a better one? No, but by George, I'm going to write a better one. My boy, I wanted you to know how much I've missed you and I never want you to leave me again. Hurry home. You are devoted, Uncle. Now, let me see what I said. And you see, I can't mail this. I shouldn't let him know how I feel. The important thing is to keep up his spirit. Why don't I call the poor little kid? Sure, I'll call him long distance. And if he wants to come home, I'll let him. By now, he's probably just moping around the house anyway. I was just thinking, my boy, if you want to come home a little early, you can come home tomorrow. You can always go swimming here. Remember how you hated to leave Marvin's pool? I just thought you might be anxious to get home. Never mind. Say hello to Aunt Hattie. Sure. Phone yesterday. Well, Bernie, I won't deny that I'm looking forward to his return tomorrow. Yes, just one more day to go. Of course. The boy seemed to be having such a good time. I'm not going to let him know how much I missed him. He couldn't tell over the phone, huh? Bernie, I can hide my feelings like a turtle. Yes. Well, I have to. Because I want Leroy to feel free to take other trips in the future. It's part of his education. Yes, sir. Well, I guess I'll get out of the office and get things out of the way so I can stay home with the boy tomorrow. Yes, sir. Yeah. I'll see who it is, Bernie. I'm on my way out anyhow. Come on. Let's put your things in the den. We didn't expect you two tomorrow. Oh, I don't need to just launch them and want me to come home. Me? Why? We're doing fine. You want me to bring it? Oh, sure. I missed you, Aunt. You did? Well, I guess I'd better get to the office. What's the matter, Aunt? Why? Guess I'll pick a loop. Some are cold. Better get to the office. See you later, my boy. He wanted to get out of here with that summer cold. Well, he didn't even wait to pick up his papers and take his briefcase. Hey, here's a letter on his desk. Address to me. Oh? And I never want you to leave me again. He sure did. That man didn't have no summer cold. That cold was all in his head. This lady will be with us again in just 30 seconds.

Well, so known how you feel, I figured out something you can do for me at lunchtime. Sure, I'll take you to lunch, my boy. Oh, I don't want you to take me to lunch. I want you to buy me a motorbike.
