Abstract

Long ago in New Orleans, there was an old gentleman named Raymond, who would sit on his porch every day. Raymond enjoyed his time outdoors, communing with nature and the neighbors and soaking up sunshine. One August a new school year started and so began new groups of kids coming to and fro down his street. Now every day at the same time a group of kids would walk down the street on their way home from school. Raymond enjoyed talking to the local kids and the local kids enjoyed talking to Raymond. They kept an eye out for each other. However, this group of kids had developed a bad habit. On their way down the street every day, they would beat on the metal trash cans with sticks.
