About This Passage
Eugenia uses big serious words ('crisis,' 'uncertain nature') to talk about a pig at her sister's window. The big words make us laugh because the situation is silly.
Eugenia Lincoln went straight to the phone and called the fire department. 'There is a crisis of an uncertain nature at 52 Deckawoo Drive,' said Eugenia.
