The mecedes ride to school

Tamoa stands up from where he's been crouched behind the for-climbing-up tree. He steals his father's cigarettes and hides them in the trunk there.
He calls everyone e hoa. He has a smoking butt in his curled-up fingers and sucks on it as if chewing his nails.
He then stubs it out beneath his bare big toe and stows it back in the for-climbing-up tree.
