In the story Janie is still goofing around and saying weird things like "My hand is bigger than any cloud around". There is a contest now called the Wasco county cotton picking contest and 76 people are joining this contest because this contest is a fun contest and the prize is 125 dollars, but its going to be hard because you start at 7:00 am and pick for 9 hours trying to pick over 300 pounds of cotton.

Later in the story janie's mom is sick and her dad wont be able to go to work for the next few days because of her mom. Dr.Peirce had to come and stay half of the afternoon to find out if Janie's mom is going to be ok. Janie spent most of the day at romero, her best friends house. When she was at romero's house, she tryed to get her mind off of her mom being sick, but she was too worried so she asked Romero to tell some jokes to get her mind off of her mom. After a while Janie got too worried so she went home and checked on her mom.
