Chapter 14 Summary: No end to miracles!

This is the chapter 14 and it’s the last chapter of this book; it begins with Elmer receiving a message from the office messenger and the office messenger said that it was a message to Bruno from Mr. Sturgeon to get him to his office and the same was for Boots, they thought that they were in trouble for all the chaos of yesterday because they had to go to Mr. Sturgeon’s office and also they found out that in all the place there were a lot of cops. Then soon after in the hallway Bruno and Boots, they were talking about the reasons of why they were called for Mr. Sturgeon, then they started to think about all the things that they had done, like the time when Cathy dumped water on Mr. Sturgeon's head, when Francisco asked if Mr. Sturgeon was The Fish, when Miss Scrimmage shot at the balloon and the way it conked Elmer Drimsdale and When the Looney from the UFO Society called The Fish an old geezer. Because of all the events that had occurred in MacDonald Hall, Bruno and Boots thought that they were going to be blamed for all of the chaos and be killed by Mr. Sturgeon’s rage, and then they arrived to Mr. Sturgeon’s office and Bruno and Boots walked into the office like two prisoners about to face a firing squad; inside of the office Mr. Sturgeon, Francisco Diaz and his father were waiting for them. Mr. Sturgeon introduced the boys to Francisco’s father, the ambassador, and then he walked over to Bruno and Boots, he bowed slightly, then shook hands with both of them and he thank to the boys for rescuing and saving the life of his son, then he said that in his country they give medals for such heroic actions, of course the boys were very grateful for the ambassador’s gratitude and Mr. Sturgeon wanted to organize a outdoor assembly for the afternoon in order to decorate to Bruno and Boots for their unselfish courage. After Bruno heard all the things that they wanted to do for them, he didn’t forget to mention to Elmer Drimsdale, because he saw the basket over the tree with his telescope although he thought that it was a UFO, actually Bruno demanded that Elmer would granted with a medal too with them in the outdoor ceremony, the Headmaster understood and he was agree with giving credit to Elmer for saving Francisco. Then Mr. Sturgeon, Bruno and Boots discovered that Francisco was the son of the ambassador of Malbonia because Mr. Sturgeon was thought that they were from Portugal but the ambassador corrected him saying that he was the Malbonian ambassador; by a coincidence Mr. sturgeon had the Malbonian flag that he took from the flagpole form one of the Bruno and Boots’ pranks to use it in the outdoor ceremony and also they discovered in a newspaper article that the volleyball net that Bruno and Boots used to get down Francisco form the tree it was found snagging three bank robbers that had stolen almost $500,000 dollars from the bank; the police are still baffled about the origin of the net which, according to the report, dropped suddenly from the sky, entangling the fugitives and the net was bore with a tag reading Macdonald Hall and because of that the police went to MacDonald Hall to thank Bruno and Boots for their help for catching to the robbers.

Under the bright Ontario sunshine and the briskly fluttering flag of Malbonia, Bruno Walton, Boots O'Neal and Elmer Drimsdale were solemnly decorated with that country's medal of civic heroism. The entire faculty and student body of Macdonald Hall were present, as well as the girls from Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies, who cheered lustily. Standing on the platform were representatives of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Macdonald Hall Board of Directors. In addition to the Malbonian medal, each boy received the RCMP Bravery Medal and the OPP Youth Award.

At the end of the outdoor ceremony Mr. Snow, chairman of the Board of Directors, turned to Bruno and Boots and Elmer to thank them and then he in order to congratulated them and reward them Mr. Snow gave to Elmer a new telescope and finally Bruno and Boots were put back together as roommates again.
