nicer to me。 we had our first game an i was scared to death； but they give me the ball an i
run over the goal line two or three times an people never been kinder to me after that。 that
highschool certainly begun to change things in my life。 it even got to where i liked to run with the
football； cept it was mostly that they made me run aroun the sides cause i still couldn'；t get to
where i liked to just run over people like you do in the middle。 one of the goons ments that i
am the largest highschool halfback in the entire world。 i do not think he mean it as a pliment。
otherwise； i was learnin to read a lot better with miss henderson。 she give me tom sawyer
an two other books i can'；t remember； an i took them home an read em all； but then she give me a
test where i don'；t do so hot。 but i sure enjoyed them books。
after a wile； i went back to settin nex to jenny curran in the cafeteria； an there weren'；t no
more trouble for a long time； but then one day in the springtime i was walkin home from school
and who should appear but the boy that poured that milk in my lap an chased me that day。 he got
hissef a stick an start callin me things like 〃moron〃 and 〃stupo。〃
some other people was watchin an then along es jenny curran； an i'；m bout to take off
again— but then； for no reason i know； i jus didn'；t do it。 that feller take his stick an poke me in
the stomach with it； an i says to mysef； the hell with this； an i grapped a holt to his arm an with
my other hand i knock him upside the head an that was the end of that； more or less。
that night my mama get a phone call from the boy'；s parents； say if i lay a han on their son
again they is goin to call the authorities an have me 〃put away。〃 i tried to splain it to my mama an
she say she understand； but i could tell she was worried。 she tell me that since i am so huge now；
i got to watch mysef； cause i might hurt somebody。 an i nodded an promised her i wouldn'；t hurt
nobody else。 that night when i lyin in bed i heard her cryin to hersef in her room。
but what that did for me； knockin that boy upside the head； put a definate new light on my
football playin。 next day； i axed coach fellers to let me run the ball straight on and he say okay；
an i run over maybe four or five guys till i'；m in the clear an they all had to start chasin me again。
that year i made the all state football team。 i couldn'；t hardly believe it。 my mama give me two
pair of socks an a new shirt on my birthday。 an she done saved up an bought me a new suit that i
wore to get the all state football award。 first suit i ever had。 mama tied my tie for me an off i
went。

the all state football banquet was to be helt in a little town called
flomaton； what coach fellers described as a 〃switch up the railroad tracks。〃 we was put on a
bus— they was five or six of us from this area who won the prize— an we was trucked up there。 it
was a hour or two before we arrived； an the bus didn'；t have no toilet； an i had drank two slurpees
fore we lef； so when we get to flomaton； i really got to go bad。
the thing was helt at the flomaton highschool auditorium； an when we git inside； me and
some of the others find the toilet。 somehow； tho； when i go to unzip my pants； the zipper is stuck
in my shirttail an won'；t e down。 after a bit of this； a nice little guy from a rival school goes
out and finds coach fellers an he e in with the two goons an they be tryin to get my pants
open。 one of the goons say the only way to git it down is jus rip it apart。 at this； coach fellers
put his hans on his hips an say； 〃i spose you expect me to send this boy out there with his fly
unzipped an his thing hangin out— now what kind of a impression do you think that would
make？〃 then he turn to me an say； 〃forrest； you jus got to keep a lid on it till this thing'；s over； an
then we get it open for you— okay？〃 an i nod； cause i don'；t know what else to do； but i figgerin i
be in for a long evenin。
when we get out to the auditorium there'；s a million people all settin there at tables； smilin an
clappin as we e out。 we is put up at a big long table on the stage in front of everbody an my
worst fears was realized about the long evenin。 seem like ever soul in the room got up to make a
speech— even the waiters an janitor。 i wished my mama coulda been there； cause she'；d of hepped
me； but she back at home in bed with the grippe。 finally it e time to get handed our prizes；
which was little gold…colored footballs； an when our names was called we was sposed to go up to
the microphone an take the prize an say 〃thank you；〃 an they also tole us if anybody has anythin
else he wants to say； to keep it short on account of we want to be gettin out of there before the
turn of the century。
most everbody had got they prize an said 〃thank you；〃 an then it e my turn。 somebody
on the microphone call out 〃forrest gump；〃 which； if i hadn'；t tole you before； is my last name； an
i stand up an go over an they han me the prize。 i lean over to the mike an say； 〃thank you；〃 an
everbody starts to cheer an clap an stand up in they seats。 i spose somebody tole them aforehan
i'；m some kind of idiot； an they makin a special effort to be nice。 but i'；m so surprised by all this； i
don'；t know what to do； so i jus kep standin there。 then everbody hush up； an the man at the mike
he lean over and axe me if i got anythin else i want to say。 so i says； 〃i got to pee。〃
everbody in the audience didn'；t say nothin for a few moments； an jus started lookin funny at
each other； an then they begun a sort of low mumblin； an coach fellers e up an grap me by
the arm and haul me back to my seat。 rest of the night he be glarin at me； but after the banquet is
over； coach an the goons done take me back to the bathroom an rip open my pants an i done peed
a bucket！
〃gump；〃 coach say after i am finished； 〃you sure got a way with words。〃
now nex year wadn'
