"After lunch the Pig Scouts decided to go for a hike." (paragraph 7)

"He was just in time to catch the bus." (paragraph 37)

Pinkerton thinks only about himself, so he keeps the Scouts from meeting the Sandwitch. 

Pinkerton cares more about eating than helping his fellow Scouts, so he keeps the Sandwitch a secret.

Pinkerton wants to be better than the other Scouts, so he volunteers to help the Sandwitch.

Pinkerton wants to arrive before everyone, so he runs ahead of the Scouts toward the sound of the Sandwitch's voice.

"Pinkerton was first on the bus and sat in the front row." (paragraph 5) 

"As the Pig Scouts marched across the sand, they heard a faint voice far in the distance." (paragraph 7)
