on the other one
I'd bring ill about three a night, and

something instead of dealing drugs and
stuff like that
Another young man named "Auto"

after the fashion of Ceiger. he says he
tries not to press it on others
At the hot i hocolate stand. Auto tells

sa\s. in another place, a man was
preaching loudly The man pointed into
Auto's face And then he shouted at
Auto. "You're a sinner!"
Hecause the man's finger was there.
Auto tried to bite it off. The preacher
convulsed and si reamed Auto held on
like a dog
“The next week," Auto says, “he
i .line hat k. and he said he'd learned his
lesson ''
Auto describes the lesson
"Don't point
