Chapter 7

Uninvited Brothers

Omri went out to the hardware shop to buy a new seed tray and seeds, as he did so he asked the clerk maize (which was sweet corn), outsid was Patrick standing, looking at him. He pulled out a plastic cowboy and horse for Omri, but he didn't want them, Patrick then asked whether he could go with him and Omri debated with himself until he said it was okay.  When they got home, Omri brothers, Gillion and Adiel, were in his room, apparently found their rat and were marveled by the longhouse, which was nearly finished, and  Omri had them leave immediately . Patrick got to see the Indian and horse, he was amazed and wanted to bring armies to life, but Omri stops him and explains that if he brought them to life, they wouldn't do what he wanted, which made sense and finally they got some meat for Little Bear.
