Cute story from childhood:
Romeo worked as "cookie" at Willie & Mary Walker's camp. His job was to make fires and haul water. The stove had a fire box on the left of the oven and a water tank on the right. This kept water hot for the cook. Romeo was 13 at the time. On his first day of work he poured the water in the firebox. Willie laughed when retelling the story about the mess and how Romeo was scared they would send him home. They didn't. Romeo was so proud of the money he made that year. -----( as told by his sister Ida)
