There once was a young man named George growing up on in the streets of the Bronx during the late 60's. He had many problems in his life. Such as he never went to school, he still lived with his parents, and he didn’t have a job, so he had no money. Everyday he prayed and prayed that these problems would go away. He took steps to try and solve them, but he never got anywhere. One day he was sitting on the steps in front of his home. A man in a fancy black suit approached him. The man hey said kid you look down, and all George could do was look at his shining jewelry. The man said what’s the problem, he reply laughing look at me, I am uneducated eighteen years old, with no money. The man said get a job, George said, not to many place are hiring people like me. The man smiled and said I am a business man, and I have one opening. George reply you do! What type of business? The man answered do you want the job or not? If I’ll be able to dress like you, then were do I sign up. The man said I am Vinny, and come with me. They get into Vinny’s black caddy, and drive off to what looked like an old factory. Inside people all over with doctor mask on are working. George says "whats going on in here", Vinny throws a bag of drugs on the table, and say this is your new job! George reply’s no, I can’t do this, and goes to leave! Vinny screams stop! Do you want to be anther bum on the street? If not get over here! George stops in his tracks and thinks of all the times he had no money. He says teach me, Vinny says that’s a boy. Come with me, and let me show you the ropes. He tells him the rules of the street, like no matter what happens you have my money, and told him their territory, and then he repeated himself, always have my money! The George said it sound easy. He got the bag, and went to some kids from the local high school who he thought would interested. He sold over half of his supply. He got read of the rest to people on his blocked, and just hope it wouldn’t get back to his parents! Over time it became a routine, he was getting money, had had the nicest shoes, and clothes. His parents wonder were they where coming from, and he just told them that he got a job cutting meat at a slaughter house. He had more money then ever before, but he wanted more, so he told Vinny to front him more at a time. Vinny said sure kid, if you think u can handle it. George got read of half to his usual customers, but he still had a lot to sell. So he went to a different street about six blocks down, and started selling. He wasn’t there long until a black Lincoln pulled up, a man got out and said what to you think your doing, this is my block. George not knowing who he was talking too, replied I don’t see your name on it. The man pulled out a gun, put it to his head, and took his supply and his money, and said I better never see you again, or no one will ever see u again! George went back to Vinny and told him what happened. Vinny said what was the number one rule I told you? He reply’s quietly, always having your money. Vinny says good, so do you have my money? George says I don’t have any thing. Vinny says kid what was the other rule I told you. He says umm I don’t know. Say in our territory, do you no whose territory that is, it’s Tommy Eversady! You’re lucky he didn’t finish you. Then he says now back to my money, I told you to have it, and you don’t. I take that as you disrespecting me! He says but I like you kid so I am going to give you a chance to pay me back, two day to have my money, or I hope I don’t see you ever again! George knowing that he had no where to get the money, doesn’t ever try to get it. He just leaves town knowing that his life was in jeopardy, he never sees his family of friends again!
