Em dic Tom Gates i m’he proposat aconseguir més ESTRELLES que ningú al quadre de punts del meu profesor, el senyor Fullerman, però no ho tinc GENS fàcil! Això és per tres motius: 1. El Marcus és un trampós que sempre em busca les pessigolles. 2. El queixal em fa TANT de mal que NO puc concentrar-me ni per fer gargots durant la classe. 3. Tinc altres coses importants que fer, com ara NEDAR, caçar cuques i, sobretot, empipar la meva germana DÈLIA, que és una cosa que sempre m’anima.

Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I'm away. Which is annoying.
