This short story by Truman Capote was originally
published in the November 1967 issue of McCall's magazine, and
later published as a book by Random House, Inc. in 1968. The story takes
the form of a childhood tale about a boy and his bully problem. The
story has a strong moral lesson related to revenge. It is a sequel to
Capote's A Christmas Memory.
The story is narrated by eight-year-old Buddy,
whose older cousin is his best friend. Buddy gets stopped on the way to school
every day by local bully Odd Henderson, who pins him to the ground and rubs
burrs into Buddy's head because "he's a sissy", an appellation to
which Buddy admits. To stop this problem, his cousin, Miss Sook, invites Odd to
her big Thanksgiving party.
