Sometimes Billy the Kid (no connection to the famous outlaw) played tricks on his friend, Pudge. Like the time that Billy built a soap box racer. Pudge was impressed by Billy's work, and asked if he could ride in it. Billy let him do so, starting at the top of a high hill so he could race down. But Billy forgot to tell Pudge a few crucial details, like the fact that the steering apparatus in his hand-made soap box racer did not work. Comical results ensued, with Pudge crashing and the soap box racer in pieces around him.
