Chapter 9

Leper Leppiller joined the ski troops none of us could believe it he just enlisted. "His enlistmen seemed just another of Leper's vagaries"(115). We began to joke that behind every win of the Allied troops Leper must have done something that caused the victory. Finny got the idea to have a winter carnival and began to asign people certain tasks to complete and accoplish. It seemed everyone became intoxicated by the cider, "the most cautiously guarded treasure"(123). The carnival was a great sucess I helped entertain the audience with a little running. They seemed t enjoy it. At the end of the day I recieved a telegram from Leper saying "I have escaped and need help"(129). This was a confusing message and i sought out to find the origin of it and its meaning. I went to Leper's "Christmas Location".
