Good Clean Earth By Mary L. Bushong

¹     Thirteen-year-old Julio kicked the tire with the toe of his shoe. "Where do you want this thing?" he asked Mr. Domingo.
 
²     "All the old tires go in the back of Mr. Jackson's pickup truck," said Mr. Domingo.
 
³     Julio began to pull up the tire from where it rested partially buried in the dead leaves and grass. Tyrone came over to give him a hand.
 
⁴     "Do you think we might find what's left of a body here somewhere?" Tyrone asked.
 
⁵     "Ewwww," said Angelica who was picking up garbage. "That is so gross! What made you think of that?"
 
⁶     "They have stuff like that on TV shows all the time," said Tyrone.
 
⁷     "TV! This is not TV!" said Angelica.
 
⁸     "I know, but I plan on being a forensic investigator when I'm out of school," said Tyrone. "Think about what great experience it would be!"
 
⁹     "I think you should confine your experience to paying attention to the job at hand," said Mr. Domingo, leader of the unofficial neighborhood youth group. "If you are really clever, maybe you can get a clue as to who left some of this junk here in the first place."
