The thermometer at Jack's Auto repair reads minus 25 and it's located near the window so it reads high. There were no children playing outdoors. Otto and Dolores Magendnaz and their eight children are all bunched together in their little house. When something breaks, Dolores tells the children to sit quietly. Pretty soon they start honking and giggling. Otto was down in the basement and she told him to look after the children while she went to the grocery. She came home to find a basketball game in progress in the living room. One of the water mains burst so they called out Bud and he shut off the main valve.

The children were sent home because Bud wants freedom of speech when he is working. The pipe break finally appeared and Bud welded a patch over the seam and filled in the hole. When he got home, he had a cup of coffee. He told Ima, his wife, that when it really get's tough, it's not the church or the school, the thing that really matters is plumbing.
