Carl had not wanted the bottom of the well. The high-traffic areas–the bridges, the forests–had all been selected when it was finally his turn to choose. His parents complained he should have taken his classes more seriously, but regrets were of no use. His only hope was hard work would result in a promotion.
Unfortunately, in 150 years, Carl had never once encountered another living soul at the bottom of his well. He was understandably both angry and hungry.
Calvin had no way of knowing any of this when he fell down the well behind the old farmhouse.
