Dill This summer, I met my future wife. I never knew that I be right next to her house. They called the Finches’. When I went to my Aunt Rachel’s house, I didn’t know what to

expect. It was a purtty summers day, so I decided to sit by the fence and that’s when I saw her. Her name be Scout. Well that’s what she want to be called. She seems like

a nice girl if ya ask me. Then, I met her brother, Jeremy Atticus Finch. He at first made my skin crawl.He don’t like to be called that. He want to be Jem. That’s a dumb name! My name be better than that name. Dill is proud name. He started making fun of my height. Jem say that his name be a foot taller than me. He’s crazy fellow. Anyway, I had a wonderful time in sunny Alabama.

My new friends and I met did many things this summer. We act out many stories that we read. It was fun, but things started to get boring. So we wanted to have an adventure.

We wanted to get a man named Boo Radley out of his house. I hear that he stabbed his own Pa. That’s crazy! I even got my buddy Jem to touch his house. He ran like caged donkey.

Ha ha! Yeah, the summer sure was fun. Before I could even blink, September arrived and I had to leave lil ol’ Maycomb. I gonna miss my nice summer play buddies.Maybe I will be able to come back next summer. When I come back, we can do everything all over again.
