Hello,

My friend purchased a copy of Ender's Game on my recommendation and we found that on a few pages there are huge ink blots so a few passages in Chapter 8 (Rat) that can't be read. Can anyone help me fill in the blanks?

Page 101 in this version:

This is just the sort of commander Bonzo
would trade me to, thought Ender. How does a boy who
spends __________ win battles?

Further down the same page:

"I needed to learn that."
"You still move like you were afraid __________."
"So teach me."

Page 112

"We don't accomplish that much anyway," Ender said.
__________
__________ "They scare you, too? They slap you
__________ Stick you head in the pissah? Somebody
__________ bung?"
"No," Ender said.


Thanks for taking a look at this. Trying to fill in the blanks before she starts reading.

You should have your friend go back and return the book, I would help but i don't have a book on hand.

Would love to but it was ordered from the US and shipped to Hong Kong (among other things). Returning it isn't really an option.

How does a boy who spends his time like this win battles?

You still move like you were afraid to wet your pants

"We don't accomplish that much anyway," Ender said. He started to leave.

Alai stopped him. "They scare you, too? They slap you up in the bathroom? Stick you head in the pissah? Somebody gots a gun up you bung?"

That was your chance to add some Mad-Libs to Ender's Game.

This is just the sort of commander Bonzo
would trade me to, thought Ender. How does a boy who
spends his time picking his nose win battles?

quote:
"I needed to learn that."
"You still move like you were afraid that I'll bite you."
"So teach me."

("...afraid to wet your pants." is a better line, really)

quote:
"We don't accomplish that much anyway," Ender said.
Alai smacked him "They scare you, too? They slap you
encouragingly on the backside Stick you head in the pissah? Somebody
put their foot up your bung?"
"No," Ender said.
