I just got a new soccer ball for his birthday. So we were going to the park with Beau my dog and Squirmy the wormy. I got all my stuff together and put it in my back pack.

It describes how he sat up on the edge of his bunk. He had just lost his only friend, but now here was an opportunity to not be alone. Here is a chance for him not to be lonely. He is so desperate for that, that he is offering every penny he has in the world plus his future earnings to a couple of strangers. He knows this is his only chance.
