Chaper 3 Summary: The cannon at midnight

The chapter 3 is about Bruno and Boots when they decided to see each other at midnight in the bushes behind of the cannon in despite of the headmaster’s orders. Boots was the first person who arrived at the meeting point, and was very scared of that Bruno wouldn’t come, but Bruno came a little late because he went for something to eat, he brought sandwiches and chocolate milk shakes, they were eating the food and talking about their roommates, Boots said that George was a crazy maniac of the money and health, and his teletype machine was disturbing him and it won’t let him sleep, but Bruno countered saying that his roommate was the worst because Elmer was a strange boy who loves the insects and studies the fish and had the room full of his insects and the bathroom was like an aquarium.

Boots exclaimed that his roommate was the worst, because George Wexford-Smyth III had the room full of medicines and stock exchange charts, he couldn’t keep his stuff in the bathroom because of all his pills and ointments, and he couldn’t hang his clothes in the closet because the teletype machine took up too much room, But Bruno said that at least he wasn’t an ichthyologist whose world is the undersea world, and said that the bathtub was full of caviar.They both were agree that they had to do something about the problem and they knew that they had to figure out how to solve their dilemma, but first they had to think about it and after of returning to their new rooms, Bruno hid the rest of the food inside of the cannon in order to have food in a emergency.
