Little Angelo shines some shoes on a corner downtown. He’s there with his box full of polish, rags, and brushes. He does a good job, and his customers are always happy with their shining shoes. Angelo always lets his customers know just how pretty and good looking his mom and dad are. If they’re interested, and have enough money, Angelo can always put something together for them. Bobby |

Yann, You are very correct. I only did it for a short time, and didn't do well at it. One of my best friends in middle school however, used to have a stand downtown in front of a bowling alley. He was a real expert, and did well. He had a good spot, you know, location--location--location. Bobby |

No one can say that Angelo was not enterprising! He obviously had logic on the brain (no surprise he ended up a Math guy, huh). A |

Thanks dear Alison, That's very true. Angelo was, and still is, a sweet guy. Bobby |
