Handbook for Boys
Pages 3-52
Summary
In the handbook for boys Jimmy, the main character starts out in a police department, and is being told that he could serve time for assaulting someone at school. Duke, an owner of a barbershop took him in, and now he works for him doing odd jobs like cleaning and reorganizing the store. So far he has been talking with the old guys that just hang around the store. He also listened to someones story on how his wife got mad at him and how she left him. Duke related this to how a tiger advertised to a monkey on how to teach them the monkey walk while blindfolded. Life ended for the monkey because the tiger tricked him because the tiger had a trap set for him when the monkey followed the tigers voice. The moral of this story is that there are good times and bad times.
