Answer:
On D ills last night in May comb, he and Jem decide to "peep in the window with the loose shutter to see if they could get a look at Boo Rad ley." Scout discourages them from going to the Ra dley house, but reluctantly decides to join them. Someone inside the Ra dley house comes out and fires a shotgun. The children scurry out of the yard, but Jem gets caught on the fence and is forced to remove his pants to get to safety.
As the neighborhood gathers to discuss the gunfire, Dill concocts an unlikely explanation for Jem 's lack of pants. Atticus tells Jem to get his pants from Dill and come home. At home, Jem confides in Scout that he's going back to the Rad leys' to get his pants. Scout literally fears for his life, but Jem would rather risk life and limb than admit to Atticus that he lied.
School starts again. This year, Jem and Scout walk home together, and they again begin finding things in the Rad leys' tree. After receiving several increasingly valuable treasures, Jem and Scout decide to write a thank-you note to whoever is leaving the gifts. When they try to deliver the note, however, they find to their dismay that the knothole has been filled with cement.
