Read the passage from "The Strangers That Came to Town" carefully.

The Duvitches had moved on and were now fishing in a small arm of the pond just below us. They had their back to us and were almost out of sight.

Tom and I, our glances meeting over the big cake of soap in my hand, were similarly and wickedly tempted. We held a brief, whispered conversation. Then, egged on by Tom and quite willing on my own, I played a shameful trick on the Duvitches. Without considering further, I dropped the cake of soap into the tub of fish
