So Buddy heard noises and it was the Amos family and he saw them move his suitcase. Then Buddy had got back at them for doing that to his bag so he pranked one of them by making them wet the bed for payback. Later he ran off and had to sleep in the basement of the library. While he was there he was just thinking of memories of his mom rather his family. Buddy needed some food but he did not have any so he had to go hungry he said to himself. But he ended up with a pretend family he did not know why they called him Clarance. But he had food though.

Bud tried to convince him to leave the food there and the man should be about his way but the man didn’t buy it. But Bud remembered his 87th rule that quoted”If an adult ever tells you they need your help,get ready to be tricked”.

When Bud wakes up the next morning he finds himself beneath the covers.His clothes were stacked neatly and they were folded the way his mom used to fold them.He realizes that Miss Thomas must have come by during the night, undressed him, and put him in bed. Bud got dressed quickly. Drawn by the sound of laughter and talking emanating from the kitchen, he tiptoes quietly down the stairs. When he gets to the kitchen door, he overhears Miss Thomas telling Herman E. Calloway talking.”You have no idea how bad those orphanages can be you’ll take care of any stray dog wandering through this neighborhood, but when it comes to a child all of a sudden you have no sympathy. Not wanting to be caught eavesdropping, Bud hurries soundlessly back upstairs. He loudly washes up in the bathroom and clumps down the hall and back down the steps as if he has just awakened. When he enters the kitchen, everyone has looks on their faces like they hadn’t been talking about him at all.Bud says “good morning.”But only Calloway does not say good morning back.Miss Thomas then told Bud that she and Mr. Calloway and the band discussed his situation “for a long time” the night before. They have decided that, though they need to talk to some people in Flint before any arrangements are finalized, they would like Bud to stay at Grand Calloway Station with them “for a while.While the band prepares to rehearse, Bud works with the mop, pretending that it is the underwater boat in the book he erroneously remembers as “Twenty Thousand Leaks Under the Sea.”Steady Eddie starts snapping his fingers, then puts his sax to his lips and makes it talk. His instrument makes the most beautiful sound Bud has ever heard; the notes swirl and float over and above the rest of the “storm of music.” Bud is so mesmerized by the band’s music that he does not even hear Miss Thomas, Mr. Jimmy, and Herman E. Calloway come up behind him. The vocalist and Mr. Jimmy compliment Bud on the cleaning he is doing. Mr. Calloway lets out a grunt as the three head up to the stage.
Bud has been living with the band for just about a week, but already he is going on his third road trip with them.They are headed for a small town called Mecosta, an hour and a half north of Grand Rapids. Herman Calloway and Mr. Jimmy are riding in one car with the instruments, while Bud is in the other car with the rest of the musicians. For this gig, Miss Thomas has stayed behind at Grand Calloway Station.If the performance goes well, and Bud gets to sleep onstage that night to guard the instruments. In the morning, Mr. Calloway wants to spend some time with an acquaintance before departing, so Mr. Jimmy instructs the boy to assist Calloway and to ride home with him later. Bud is not looking forward to spending “a whole hour and a half trapped in a car” with the ill-tempered band leader. Sure enough, the experience starts off when, Herman E. Calloway chooses a nondescript rock on the ground with his shoe and orders the boy to pick it up for him. Overcome with curiosity, Bud asks, with unintended bluntness, “What in Sam Hill are you going to do with a rock?” The old man just utters tersely, as he puts the key in the ignition of the car, “Bad habit.”

Thomas must have come and fold them when he was asleep, undressed him and put him to bed. Then Bud got dressed and he heard people laughing in the kitchen and he heard Miss. Thomas telling Herman E. Calloway how bad the orphanages are. Herman Calloway said he was going to get to the bottom of it because he did not believe Bud. Bud then went to the kitchen with everyone looking like nothing happened so he went and they were just talking to him. Know Miss. Thomas told him he would like to stay here in the station and Bud said yes Bud got so happy. The Herman Calloway told him why does he always carry the suitcase he said all of his things are in it. Know the band prepares to rehearse, Bud works with the mop, pretending that it is the underwater boat in the boat he erroneously remembers as Twenty Thousand Leaks Under the sea. The boy knows Herman E. Calloway is trying to work him like a do, Bud is used to hard labor. But was not looking forward to spending a whole hour and half trapped in a car with the ill-tempered band leader.

After learning Bud’s mother’s name, Herman E. Calloway locks himself in his room. Mr. Jimmy and Miss Thomas continue to question Bud in the kitchen, asking him how long ago his mother passed away, and what she looked like. Bud tells them that she died peacefully at home after a short illness four years ago, when he was six. He tries to describe her physical characteristics, but falls short in his attempt. Instead, he runs upstairs to get the photograph of her that he keeps in his sax case.
When he gets to his room, Bud is surprised to find Mr. Calloway sitting there at the dressing table, holding his face in his hands, sobbing
When he gets to his room, Bud is surprised to find Mr. Calloway sitting there at the dressing table, holding his face in his hands, sobbing. The boy goes quietly over to the place near the bed where he keeps all of his important possessions and takes the envelope with his moms picture in it. Herman Calloway does not notice. As Bud passes by the man on the way back out of the room, he reflects that babies cry all the time, but that when an adult is moved to tears:
Even though he realizes that the old man is crying “’cause he found out the two of [them] are kin,” Bud cannot help but feel sorry for him. He walks over and puts his hand on Mr. Calloway’s back. The distraught figure flinches, then looks at him and mumbles incoherently, calling him “Buddy,” to which the child responds, not unkindly, Bud reaches out to pat his shoulder, then leaves the room. He runs back downstairs where Mr. Jimmy and Miss Thomas are waiting. Bud puts his Momma’s picture in the center of the table. Both adults examine the photograph closely, then Mr. Jimmy said, “Uh, uh, uh, that definitely is Angela Janet Calloway.”
That means that’s not some little dead girl’s room I’m sleeping in, that’s my Momma’s room!
Miss Thomas explains earnestly that Mr. Calloway didn’t know anything about him. Bud’s mother had run off before he was born, and no one knew where she had gone. Herman Calloway had been very hard on his daughter when she was growing up, reasoning:
He had loved his daughter very, very much. He was determined that she was going to be the first in the family to get through college and have a profession. In his zeal, however, he never gave her a chance to decide for herself. Finally, Angela rebelled and ran off with one of the band’s musicians.
Miss Thomas fetches a portrait of Bud’s Momma, taken when she was sixteen years old. She gives it to the boy and asks him to be patient with his grandfather, as the hurt of his daughter’s death is still “brand-new” for him. She explains that when Angela Janet was little, she had asked her father to bring her a rock from one of the places the band performed. Since that day, Herman Calloway has taken stones from every place the band visited; he inscribed them with the names of the towns and the dates. The old man stored them all in boxes, saving them for her.

when he learned bud’s mother’s name he locked himself away in a room. Others kept asking bud questions so bud walked away into the kitchen and then they asked how long since his mother passed away, what she looked like? Bud said she died when they were a home when he had walked in the door after an illness for 4 years when he was 6. Then bud tried to describe his mom to them after that bud went into the room upstairs and he saw Mr.Calloway sitting there crying at the dressing table. Bud tried going into the room quietly trying not to be loud so close to the bed. Now bud pass the man on the way back out of the time, but when an adult is moved to tears even though Bud hears the old man crying cause two of them are family Bud cannot help but feel sorry for him.
