I'se see everyone dat come to da lodging house. I know deir stories, deir
lives, deir habits. I could bore you with all the newsies I've seen come
here. Could tell ya the tales of da successful ones.
I was born heah. Well, not heah exactly. Dey found me heah, in a box on da steps. Da box said sometin bout a map, I t'ink dats where I gots me name. Street. I heah da boys had fun pickin out me name. Spot wanted Jaws or somet'in cause of da cracks on da box looking like teeth marks. Jack had da final say 'dough.
I'se 'ave been told that me parents left me dere. Jack found me, and 'im and da odduh Newsies took care of me real good. They'se looked out fer me, and taught me all I'se know. Since Jack stopped sellin, people 'ave tole me I'se da best seller. Davey once tole me, "Ya learn from Jack, ya learn from da best." Ya, ya, I hoid da story of how Dave had ta loin dat.
Dey all taught me sometin. Jack taught me how ta sell, Race taught me how ta bet. Mush and Spot got tahgeddah and shows me how ta be a ladies man. A coise, dey's all gone now, doin real woik. Jackie boy comes back now and den, checks up on me, da newest leadah of da newsies. Since den, dere have been some good newsies, and some bad guys. Nothin like da strike, but dat was before my time.
