It's a Sin to Steal a Watermelon

Walter Maughan

Salt Lake City, Utah: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, July 1983

  • Walter Maughan: Author
Fiction, Short Story
English
I considered it the better part of valor not to probe too deeply into just where the boys got the watermelon for our picnic. After all boys would be boys, I told myself. And when they offered, what could I say? They ought to be involved somehow in the preparations. In any case, stealing a watermelon was a minor infraction. Why, we had all been involved in such things at some time or other.
