Today Jem and me were exploring with our air-rifles when Jem noticed Tim Johnson was acting really funny. We ran inside to Cal and asked her to come see a dog out on the street. We thought he was actin' funny. When she saw him, she got really nervous and made us go inside the house; she called Atticus and told him about Tim Johnson. After that, she told Miss Eula May to alert the whole street. What happened after that was unbelievable. Atticus and Mr. Heck Tate, the county sheriff, came to our house from work. Tim Johnson stopped in front of the Radley Place, and Mr. Heck Tate told Atticus that he should be the one to shoot the mad dog. To be honest, I didn't have much faith in Atticus. He's so old! But out of the blue, Atticus turned out to be the deadest shot in Maycomb County. I don't think Jem or I have ever been more shocked by Atticus in our whole entire lives.
