The rising action of Bud, Not Buddy is when Bud is walking down the road, going to the Grand Rapids and somebody sees him. It turns out to be a man named Lefty Lewis, whom Bud easily befriends. Lefty Lewis is from Grand Rapids, but is visiting his daughter in Flint for a night. Lefty wants to know where Bud is from so that he can take him back to his "worried parents". Bud lies, and says that he is running away from Grand Rapids so that Lefty will take him back there. Lefty believes this and they go to his daughter's house where Bud is fed and better than ever. They spend the night and leave the next morning. Lefty Lewis drops Bud off at the club that Bud assures him that his "father" is in. This is where Bud first meets his "dad". The mean old coot, Herman E. Calloway.
