is rather humorous the first timeandmeet Dill sitting in his aunt's collard patch. The Finch
children initially think that someone's dog is making noise in the collard patch and are shocked
to discover a small boy sitting in the middle of the vegetables. Dill then introduces himself as
Charles Baker Harris and humorously remarks that he can read. Jem's response is also funny; he
tells Dill,

Toward the end of chapter 1, another humorous
event takes place when Dill bets Jem that he's too scared to knock on the Radley's door. Jem is
