How It All Goes Down
Bruno Tells a Perfectly Reasonable Lie
- One day Shmuel has a black eye and Bruno assumes it is from a bully. Maybe, but we're thinking maybe not… unless Nazi soldiers count as bullies.
- Bruno asks why they all wear striped pajamas, and Shmuel says that it's because their clothes were taken by the soldiers.
- One rainy afternoon, Bruno spills the beans about Shmuel to Gretel.
- He quickly takes it back, though, saying Shmuel's just an imaginary friend.
