The three boys pretend Henry is a pigeon. Beans and Mutto pretend to shoot him, and then one screams "wringer! wringer!" and they pretend to wring Henry's neck. They are laughing and having fun. Palmer remembers the day he saw the pigeons shot and killed at the field and the wringing of one pigeon's neck in front of him. Palmer runs away from the scene, upset.
