When Billy and his family visit the Jolly Green Giant statue in Blue Earth, Minnesota on their way home from Mount Rushmore, Billy falls from the platform. As a result, he hits his head, and ends up with a large lump which he proudly shows to Ned. Yet, this also causes Billy to worry that he will not be smart enough for second grade.
