![]() Right on cue, Jack's nose starts bleeding from this stress.He also gets caught (we saw that one coming from a mile away). ![]() Jack goes along with this, because he doesn't want his mom to tell his dad about the Japanese sniper rifle incident.And then, in a weird twist, Jack's father orders him to mow down his mother's corn, which she was growing to sell so she can buy food for Norvelt's needy people.Okay, we're starting to feel a little sorry for Jack now.Plus, his dad has just returned from a job he was working out of town, and would "go ape" if he finds out about it (4.4).He hides the ticket, planning to pay it off himself so that his Mom doesn't find out and ground him. ![]() When Jack gets up the next morning, he finds out that his family has been ticketed for the weeds obstructing the gutters.
