Chapter 3
Gru was lost. He had been playing in the mountains; his mother had always said he shouldn’t play up there by himself. She always said it wasn’t safe. Gru promised himself that if he could just find his way home, he would never, ever stray away from home again. He would definitely never play in the mountains again. He would do as he was told and be good and he just wanted to get home.
This place was strange and loud and there were weird things everywhere. There were small things that ran around on two legs and fast things that growled and square mountains and he couldn’t get back.
He’d fallen through the air window he couldn’t get back.
He was lost. The two legs were everywhere and he tried telling them that he was lost but they just babbled and squealed and he didn’t know what to do.
He was lost.
He wanted his mother.
