A fun day

Man was today fun. At around 10 o’ clock Jem, Scout and I snuck out of the house. We followed Jem and Scout’s dad to the center of the town. We saw him reading a newspaper, so we thought that nothing was happening. We were about to go home when suddenly a bunch of guys came up to the jail and told Mr. Finch to leave, so we went to investigate. It turned out that it was Mr. Cunningham, the father of Scout’s classmate Walter Cunningham. He was telling Mr. Finch to get out of the way so Scout, Jem and I jumped in and backed up Mr. Finch. I couldn’t believe it! Mr. Underwood came out with a loaded double barrel shotgun and said that he would make sure that no one got into that jail. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
