This is from chapter 8 of To Kill A Mocking bird ...

What does Mr. Avery say that bad children cause? What's ironic about this, given Jem and Scout's reaction to the snow?

Mr. Avery said "It was written on the Rosetta Stone that when children disobeyed their parents, smoked cigarettes and made war on each other, the seasons would change".

This sentence was in the first paragraph on page 1 of chapter 8.
