Jerry’s two companions had reined up also and were waiting for the answer. Bob quickly saw the object of this maneuver.

“Oh, shucks,” said Jerry. “Probably the way out is hidden just like the way we’ve come. Look back. You can’t see how we got in here, can you?” “What?” Bob exploded. “Mexicans from the other side of the border?” “Well, of course you must look nice,” said Johnny seriously, “but you don’t need anything fine.
