Free Horrible Harry and the Triple Revenge by Suzy Kline Page A

the rest of us got out our notebooks, I wondered when Harry would get revenge number one. Right now Harry was just glaring at Sid across the aisle.
    â€œGood morning, boys and girls,” Miss Mackle said. “I hope everyone remembered their healthy snack. We’re having a special visitor in a few minutes, and we want to be prepared!”
    Harry reached into his backpack and pulled out two snacks. Both were wrapped in foil. One was round. One was square.
    Just as he was putting both in his desk, Sid leaned over and whispered, “Can I have one? I forgot my homework. I don’t want anyone to know.”
    What nerve! I thought. El Creepo was asking for a favor!
    â€œSure,” Harry said, grinning. “I’d be glad to share.”
    My eyes bulged. Harry was secretly handing Sid the square snack. What was Harry up to?

    â€œThanks, pal!” Sid said.
    â€œDon’t open it until you eat it,” Harry added. “Keep it fresh.”
    â€œGotcha!” Sid replied.
    I just shook my head.
    Miss Mackle went to the door. “I hear someone coming!”
    We all looked up and heard singing in the hallway.
    â€œYUM! YUM!
    HERE I COME! COME!”
    When it appeared in the doorway, Sidney yelled, “ Yikes! It’s a giant apple.”
    Dexter started singing to the tune of an Elvis song. “It ain’t nothin’ but an apple, walking in our room! It ain’t nothin’ but an apple, walkin’ in our room!”
    â€œSNACK ATTACK!” the apple boomed.
    When our class went pin-quiet, ZuZu blurted out, “Who are you?”
    â€œApple Man,” the creature boomed. “I’m looking for healthy snacks. I’m giving one point for each wholesome food. The class that has the best percentage of healthy snacks wins an extra recess.”
    Everyone cheered and clapped.
    Except Song Lee. She was just quiet.
    And Harry. He was looking at Apple Man’s feet. “Those are Mr. Cardini’s shoes,” he whispered to me.
    I looked down and nodded. It was our principal, all right. He was the big apple!
    â€œShow me your healthy snacks,” Apple Man demanded as he walked up and down the aisles.
    â€œI have a banana,” Ida said.
    â€œI have yogurt,” ZuZu said.
    â€œYum! Yum!” Apple Man replied.
    â€œSee my box of raisins?” Mary asked.
    Dexter held up a carrot.
    Song Lee had kiwi slices.
    I had celery and green peppers.
    â€œDeeeeeelicious!” Apple Man said. “I love vegetables and fruit!”
    Apple Man added tally marks on his clipboard for Room 3B.
    When he came to Harry, everyone held their breath. Harry slowly unwrapped his snack.
    â€œOrange wedges,” Harry said. “Grandma Spooger even left the white strings on them for me. I love pulp.”
    â€œYUM! YUM!
    IN THE TUM TUM!”
    Apple Man boomed.
    Finally, Apple Man came to Sidney’s desk. He waited patiently while Sid unwrapped the four sides of foil. “I’ve got a healthy snack right here,” Sid predicted.
    Everyone watched him unfold the silvery paper.
    Suddenly the smell of chocolate filled Room 3B.
    â€œFudge!” Apple Man said. “No points. NO CANDY FOR SNACKS!”
    Sidney sank down in his chair. Everyone groaned, “Sidney!” Harry made a toothy smile. And when no one was looking, he put out his hand. “I’ll take it back now, Sid the Squid!”
    So that’s what Harry was up to!
    Revenge number one!
    Sid made a face as he plopped the snack back in Harry’s hand.

    An hour later, Apple Man made an announcement over the intercom. “The winner of the Snack Attack today was Mr. Moulder’s second-grade class. They had one hundred percent healthy snacks, so they get an extra recess!”
    Room 3B groaned and moaned. “We lost because of Sidney,” Mary grumbled.
    We all had long faces except for Harry. He was smiling as he held up two fingers.
    Sid had two more revenges coming.
