Spitting the water out, Fred exclaimed the water tastes like a person's feet

But I'm thirsty said Max

If you wring out your hair Fred said there'll be water in it. He tugged his hair

and twisted it: a few drops fell on his tongue

Max chewed on his hair and scrunched his eyes closed. I'm scared he said

I know Lila said softly we all are Maxie

Fred swallowed and said all this will look less bad in the morning

Will it? Will it really? replied Con

It can't look much worse he said.
