Opal does not realize that Winn Dixie has run off because, in the confusion that resulted when the rain started coming down, she simply forgot about him. Opal had been at an outdoor party she and Gloria Dump were throwing for all the neighbors. Otis, who is somewhat of a recluse, had just arrived, and Opal had been introducing him to everyone. Right in the middle of this, thunder suddenly rolls in the sky, and it begins to rain. ...
