Felix drives Angelo
out to his foster dad’s farm.

It’s a hot day
to be pushing the lawnmower
all over the guy’s estate.

Angelo strips down
to his shorts.

He’s sweating
like a hog,
and his tanned,
olive skinned body
is glistening.

After about two hours
Angelo senses he’s not alone.

He turns around,
and notices a man
following him,
about a hundred yards back.

Angelo puts two and two together,
and comes up with “James”.

It must be that James guy
his dad told him about.

"Yo—guy—
who you gawking at?

Didn’t you ever see
someone work before?

Get lost,
unless you want me to
come back there
and smash your mug in!"

James disappears.
Angelo finishes the lawn,
and gets paid.

Glad Angelo could take care of himself.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, Angelo always was a great one for looking after Angelo. It comes with the territory. He got that from Sally and Felix.

Like Angelo, I've always hated people watching me work.

Hi Bobby, Angelo surely is a brave boy. My boss does that to me all the time and I can’t tell him the same words that Angelo did. Oh, I see him coming… bye…Prasad

Thanks Prasad,

For reading and commenting. Angelo might be young, but he's still a tough guy.
