He sees a mysterious face through the attic window. He passes by but soon remembers that the Anderson's moved out years ago. That's when Ted became determined to find out whose, or what's, face that is. It turns out to be April, a girl who lived in the Anderson's farm for just a short while. April asks Ted to get them food and supplies. Ted does so happily, but has to be sneaky, because he is taking it from his own home.
