Back in Ms. Paley's classroom, Nelson and Angelo commiserate (this means sharing sad feelings together) about being excluded. Two other boys (usually the 'bosses') say that Nelson must be 'bad guy' to play with them. Nelson doesn't want to do this and is excluded from the game. The boys say that there can't be a third good guy, but later let a different child be the third 'good guy'.
But Ms. Paley realizes that the question of rejection is not an easy one. Even Clara, who is often excluded by Lisa, becomes a 'boss' and rejects Cynthia. She is embarrassed when Ms. Paley asks her, but doesn't want to give up her position.
Ms. Paley discusses what the First Graders said with her class. The children are amazed that older children would also think about this rule and would have so much to say.
Story - Annabella meets the tiny people and finds out that they live inside the orange cactus flowers. The orange people are surprised by the eagle's attack. The eagle took the Prince Orange Flower. Magpie and Annabella promise to go to where the eagle lives and get Prince Orange Flower back. They tell the tiny orange people that eagles usually don't attack people.
Magpie will go to the eagle's nest by himself - it's too dark for Annabella to climb - and he tells Annabella to go back to her father.
