A second brief teaser of the Afterward:
“We started reading Old Yeller in class today. The teacher told some of the kids who said they'd watched the movie not spill anything. Why would they spill something in regards to the book? What does that mean?” Ephraim chattered to him in his arms.
He barely manage to contain his shock that they were letting the kids read such a sad story, and made a note to ask Bella about who their teacher was. They were only in first grade, after all.
“It's spoil, not spill, and what it means is that there are things which happen in the story that are supposed to be...” He trailed off, not sure how to explain it, but finally settled on. “A surprise. And it's unfair for kids who already know what will happen to tell those of you who don't.”
