of rubber bootsno one has worn since spring.When Mom finds oneof the withered gray tubers,she waves it in our faces.  \n“Do your homework,Rudy!\"she says.\"Cyrus,clean your room!Or I'll touch you with this putridthing.I'll cook it in your soup without you knowing!\"  \nA slimy tornado of fear whirls in my throat at thethought of wrinkly-potato soup.I try not to gag.  \nI expect the potato to clink and clack when Momshakes it in my face,but of course it doesn't.It's not ababy's rattle,it's a potato.A potato that looks like it'shad a fight with a hole punch.The shriveled spud is  \n1  \nthe leftover ammo from a potato-gun battle betweenmy brother Rudy and me.Rudy's eight,and I’m nine.  \nA potato gun looks like a water pistol,but instead ofwater,you fill it with potato.First,you find a big potatoin the stinky kitchen drawer.Then you shove the gun'sshort barrel in past the peel to load it with potato flesh.A potato pellet is shaped like a pencil eraser,only it'scrunchy and white,not rubbery and pink.  \nIt doesn’t exactly hurt when you get shot with apotato pellet,but it can sting.Sometimes,if Mom'sout of potatoes,Rudy and I battle with apples.Once,when Mom was at work,we tried a banana.It wasdisgusting.Banana pellets don't sting—they justmush and dribble.  \nEventually,Rudy and I tire of shooting each otherwith bits of spud.We get distracted by the TV orLEGO.Or by Wigglechin,our cat,who is old andoften clinging to things she's trying not to fall from.Like the living room curtains or the dining-roomchandelier.","cbCaihVV2PPL6kJY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihVV2PPL6kJY","pdf",4162999,68,"English","# Chapter One","[{\"question\":\"What event triggers Cyrus’s plan in the
