Sample Response:
The man cutting off the breakfast line was really mean and cruel to Bud, but the pretend family was kind and helpful. The man could have been understanding and let Bud in the line. According to the text, the man threatens Bud with a leather strap instead, and refuses to let him get in line. On the other hand, the pretend family acted like they were mad at Bud for being gone so long, but in reality they were helping him by tricking the man into thinking Bud was one of their own children. In the story the family even shares their precious brown sugar with Bud.
