Willy & Bret

January 1, 1997

Dear Daniel Pinkwater,

Our names our Willy Dobud and Bret Seraile. We’re reading “The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death.” We think it’s funny and we want to try it. We think your books are funny.

This is Willy. Hello. I’m in Jeremy Cutler’s reading class at Norwood School in Maryland. I’m in 5th grade.

Hello. This is Bret. I’m in the same class as Willy. He is a good, funny friend of mine. I like how you think it’s awesome to be fat. One of our good friends is fat also. He doesn’t care, either.

Try what?
