"You lost your job, how are we going to support three children? They all have to eat, with no money..we could lose them Darling, I couldn't bare that.."
[/color][/i] The pause in voices, the tones were serious, as the tea pot was whistling. David woke up as he made his way to the top of the stairs, he could hear the tension in the room below him. His parents were fighting about how his father, and how he lost his job. David was a very smart boy, he knew how to handle just about every situation put in front of him. But this, it wasn't something he knew how to handle. David rested his head on his knees in the dark stair stoop as he waited for the arguing to stop. He finally had an idea, one that could solve this all, he and Sarah would always go to each other for help thought David made more since most of the times, when it came to point making."You lost your job, how are we going to support three children? They all have to eat, with no money..we could lose them Darling, I couldn't bare that.."
David stood up as he tip-toed to Sarah's room she would be sitting at the window sill. His sister spent most of her time there, though David never questioned it. He knocked, not loud as he opened the door to see his prediction. David closed the door behind him walking to the window. "Sarah, ya heard Dad's lost his job and I cant take them fighting anymore, I see all those kids peddling papers on the street, I think it would be nice to try it."[/color] David thought of Les, though he would always know Les would agree with him, how Sarah? "I think that would be a great Idea, a since of responsibility in Dad's eyes Your great David, I like you helping your a great brother and I ill help cook your favorite deserts to show you how proud I am. [/b][/color] Sarah explained. That was that David got his answer, "I will tell them in the morning, Les and I shall go out so I can teach him the true meaning of man hood." [/color]David explained as he kissed his sister's cheek and walked back to his room.
The next morning David woke up, he walked to the closet and put on some cloths. His cloths were responsible as he would wear them in front of adults though he had no clue how to do this, he was going to give it his all. David washed up and finished getting dressed as he walked to his younger brother's room "Les, Get up, get dressed decently, today we to become men today." [/color]David said as he closed the door knowing Les would follow him. David made his way down the stairs, he checked his pocket to see Ten cents there, it was the perfect amount he could double it slowly, David thought as he made his way to the table. Sarah had helped with Breakfast, it was something sweet and yummy, the thing he need to get his motives straight. Les joined the table they all said grace. "Mother, I have something to tell you, Les and I shall be working for the Newsies , we will be selling in Manhattan and Shall help this house hold as men." [/b]David explained. Sarah smiled as his mother stood up walking to her kissing his forehead. "That would be a lovley Idea David, have fun."[/color] The two boys walked out the door.
When Breakfast was over David grabbed Les by the hand. He walked to the Distribution center where he saw all the Newsies. David watched and observed as the kids would order so different;t, every child had a different approach towards the window. When it was finally David's turn he walked up. "May I have 20 Papes sir?" David waited for them to arrive. He double checked as one was un- counted for. "Sir I ordered 20,, this is 19." David told the man. "You calling me a lier boy?"[/color] The man replied. "No sir, I just want the paper I paid for." David looked down as a boy walked to the window. "Yeah Weasel this is 19, I think ya's Owe my friend here one more, and make that 50" [/color][/i]The boy put down another few cents. David took the stack, '"Ya know I don't need these Just take them, you paid for them." [/color]David looked at the boy, he was called Jack Kelly by someone in the crowd behind them. We can make a deal.[/color] The boy told David, the deal was unsure as David raised the prices and agreed.
As the day progressed David saw how this whole paper thing was, through Jack's eyes it was all lies and exaggerations. And through Davids eyes it was just making enough and putting some faith in Jack's word. He liked this Jack boy, there was something about him David couldn't deny it. The day came to night as the papers were now sold. "Jack I couldn't thank you more, you have helped me tremendously, Would you like to come home to dinner with me, I would like my parents to meet my new partner.. " [/color] David asked. Yeah, dat that sounds nice, I'd like that Davey."[/b][/color] Jack replied as the boys made there way home to David's house. David put the key in the door, "Mother I'm home, and boy are you going to be proud." David boasted.
