Soup
When it came to getting the two of us in trouble, Soup was a  regular genius....Soup was my best pal. His real and righteous name was  Luther Wesley Vinson, but nobody called him Luther. He didn't like it.  I called him Luther just once, which promoted Soup to break me of a  very bad habit before  it really got formed. As soon as the swelling  went out of my lip, I called him Soup instead of Thoop.Here are  the stories of that friendship, and of the troubles--stories from a  boyhood filled with barrels to roll in, apples to whip, windows to  break, ropes to bind prisoners, acorn pepes, and ten-cent Saturday  movies.But then as always nothing was quite as important as a  best friend.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
