Benny Talks to Stilt Walker about Jessica

Little Benny said, "I saw your daughter today, Stilt."

"I don't think you saw my daughter," said Stilt Walker. He began shaking his head no. "She doesn't live around here. What makes you think that you saw her?"

"She lives across the street from me. Her name is Jessica."

Stiltwalker began to swallow hard. He had a moment of silence, and he would not look at Benny. Stilt Walker just dropped his head.

Benny continued to talk and said,  "Your daughter told me that you did not get along with her. She said that you think she is a witch just because she can see things. Let me tell you something. You can see things too. You can see Cigar, and he is not yet visible to all of the world. So if your daughter is a witch, what does that say about you?"

Stilt Walker looked up and began to stare at Benny. He could not say a mumbling word.
