Mr. Roberts is up and ready to go to work, so he goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. He's got a proposal for Huck: he wants Huck to become his "playmate" . Huck is totally confused. He doesn't know what to say, and he's not sure how to respond to the proposal. Huck says he'll have to figure out a way to say the word "partner" without sounding like a jerk.
