The word “resourceful” is spoken by Lefty Lewis to Bud in chapter 11 of Bud, Not Buddy because of Bud’s ability to run far away from home. The exact sentence is as follows:
You did get pretty far, Bud, maybe he won’t be too hard on you when he sees how resourceful you were at running away.
Lefty Lewis refers to Bud's father as "he" in this statement. Lefty Lewis goes on to say that he would actually be very proud of any of his children who could make it far away from home. Lefty Lewis adds (a bit jokingly) that he would actually offer his children money to give running away a good try. Supposedly, they would never take the money.
The reader must also keep in mind that Bud tells a lie to Lefty Lewis in order to get to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Bud tells Lefty Lewis that Bud is running away from Grand Rapids. The reason why Bud tells this lie is that he thinks this is the best way to get Lefty Lewis to take Bud to Grand Rapids to find his father. In the statement about the word “resourceful,” Lefty Lewis thinks that Bud got “all the way to Flint” which, of course, is far from Grand Rapids.
