Nadia follows the little footprints. They lead across two plots, past the shed, and stop at a gap in the fence behind the Lim family's garden. A red toy wagon sits there, with a smear of pumpkin dirt on the handle. Nadia writes down: 'wagon = how it moved.'

Nadia sets a trap. She ties a bell to the pumpkin's stem with thread and goes home. At dawn the bell is ringing. She races over to find Theo frozen mid-pull on the wagon, looking very sorry. He promises to confess, and he does. Mr. Okafor forgives him on the spot.
