When we came home the other day from school Jem and I found his pants mended back together. Then we found something else. It was a ball of gray twine in the knot in the tree. We didnt know whos it was so we left it there. After a few days we just took it. We had an idea who left it there but now its ours.
A few months later another present was left in the knot. It was to figures that looked like Jem and I. The dolls were carved out of soap. Then in the hole we found chewing gum, a pocket watch, and a spelling bee medal. The day after that we saw that the hole was filled with cement. Jem asked Nathan Radley what happened to the tree. Mr. Radley replied that the tree was dying so he had to fill it.
