Main plot
• Brand has a nightmare that he gets kicked out of school for not playing rugby.
• In this dream, the whole school shouts "sissy" at him while he walks to the gate.
• Martin brings a pofadder to school and places it into a schoolgirl's bag. When catastrophe strikes, Martin gets into trouble when mr. Vorster takes him to the office and he also needs to clean all the girl's books.
• Brand's mom decides to ask mr. Vorster to help edit her short stories, especially because he is a language teacher. Lizelle does not like this idea and protests.
• Brand and his father talk about poaching on the farm. His father notes that the poachers should know the area well because they poach all year round.
• The artwork of Kruger Braun is introduced in this chapter as a symbol of the crossroads Brand faces.
Hoofstorie
• Brand het 'n nagmerrie dat hy geskors word omdat hy nie meer rugby wil speel nie.
• In die droom, skree die hele skool "sussie" vir hom terwyl hy na die hek stap.
• Martin bring 'n pofadder skool toe en plaas dit in 'n skoolmeisie se sak. Wanneer die moeilikheid ontrafel, word Martin gestraf en moet hy al die meisie se boeke weer van voor af gaan oortrek.
• Brand se ma besluit om meneer Vorster se hulp in te win om haar kortverhale te redigeer, veral omdat hy 'n taalonderwyser is. Lizelle maak beswaar, want sy hou nie van die idee nie.
• Brand en sy pa praat oor stroping op die plaas. Sy pa merk op dat die stopers/wilddiewe die area goed ken, want hulle stroop die hele jaar lank.
• Die kunswerk van Kruger Braun maak sy verskyning in hierdie hoofstuk en dien as simbool van die kruispad waar Brand homself bevind.
