Il is different with him.
The woman who cleans the halls in
the house where Giuseppe lived Is
German. She was using a WORKOUT
tattered old flag on Washington's
birthday TO clean and dust with. As
she rubbed the door knob vigorously
the Stars and Stripes waved gro.
tesquely across the dirty front Of the
house. but suddenly she was violently
attacked by the small Italian boy, who
began beating her about the body
with his strong little fists. Then he
lowered his head. and running at her
like a goat, he butted her of the steps
10 the sidewalk.
The commotion caused by the fight
at last attracted policeman, into

gave the boy. who was too angry to
sneak coherenily or tell his reason for
the attack.
