Barrett has been invited to attend an important baseball camp over the summer, but his mother, who works two
jobs to support the family, tells him that they simply don't
have the money to send him. Barrett is devastated, but he
won't give up on his dream and decides to start mowing
lawns to earn the money himself. He goes to the Mitchells'
house first and knocks on the door. His teammate Kai
answers, and he is not happy to see Barrett. Kai plays ball
on Barrett's team, but he has not been invited to the
summer camp and is still upset. Barrett wishes Kai's sister,
Charise, or his father had answered the door. At least they
would be reasonable. Barrett presses on anyway and offers
his lawn-mowing services to Kai. Kai snickers and says
they don't need their lawn cut. Barrett looks at the
Mitchells' overgrown front lawn and knows Kai is lying, but
he shrugs his shoulders and leaves to visit the next house.
There are plenty of houses on his street; he'll earn that
money somehow
