bertha was eight years old and sobbed for everything. she would always dob on her brother saying he did it when actually she did it. Then one day she dobbed on her brother and he got no pudding for a month  then another time she pulled all of her hair out and blamed it on her brother again and then she got no pudding for a month because he parents saw her doing it. in this part of the book I found a writing technic and it was a simile.
