[Pee-Wee Harris Adrift by Percy Keese Fitzhugh]@TWC D-Link bookPee-Wee Harris Adrift CHAPTER XIII 2/7
In this bold exploration a courageous sardine sandwich played an important part and out of sheer gratitude Pee-wee, from that time forward, was ever partial to sardine sandwiches, regarding them with tender and grateful affection. He was standing near the apple tree holding the traffic sign like a pilgrim's banner beside him and, as has been told, eating a banana with the other hand.
That fact is well established.
Little he thought that when Roly Poly, delving into a paper bag that was in a grocery box, handed him a sardine sandwich, it would mark an epoch in scout history. In order to accept the proffered refreshment, Pee-wee was compelled either to relinquish the traffic sign or the banana.
One moment of frantic consideration held him, then in a burst of inspiration he plunged the metal standard deep into the ground, and took the sardine sandwich in his free hand.
The printed cross-piece on the traffic sign joggled around so that just as he plunged his mouth into the sandwich the word GO made an appropriate announcement to his comrades.
