He wears a Miami Heat jersey, Nike pants, and no shoes or socks!! Roy on his first day of school saw the running boy next to the bus stop and caught up with him another day to see why he was running.

4 The community is making a Mother Paula's pancake house for a nice breakfast restaurant. There has been a lot of problems building the pancake house. Beatrice’s stepbrother has been doing stuff at the building location to make the building harder to build. He is trying to save the owls that live underground on the land where they want to build the pancake house.

5 Roy and Beatrice saw Beatrice’s stepbrother saving the owls so they don’t get dangered from the pancake house being built. Beatrice’s stepbrother cares about other people and animals so that’s why he went and helped the owls. The owls ended up surviving.

7 At the groundbreaking ceremony for the pancake house, the kids were hanging arms together so they don’t find there stepbrother so the pancake house will not go open for business. The other people at the pancake house did not believe there was any owls but a owl came flying down into the hole. Roy then proved that owls were living there. Mother Paula did not have permission to bury up the owl dens and the owls survived.
