It had been 30 years, and even the word newsies touched anybodies lips. You would think that it never would be spoke of again. But, what a victory, it was the biggest accomplishment those, almost men, made. It changed history, for every kid, after that event, got paid fairly. What the newsies wished had come true, and wasn't it a great thing!
After time had gone by, the newsies had grown up. They had gotten married, started a family, and eventually most of them died, and the others, forgotten about completely. One day, Crutchy's son, Limper had a great idea. His idea was to get all of the newsies together it would be great. He thought that he was just the person to do it. A thing like this should not just be forgotten about, for his father had told him many times of the story of the newsies strike! Oh, and he loved it when his Dad told him that story. He would sit him upon his lap, and make it sound so exciting, that it sounded unreal. But " Oh no," Said Crutchy, "This story is all very much real!"
That was it, his mind was set, and it was time for New York to see what they were missing out on. So, he collected a few of his friends, one of them being pokeadot, Spot's son, and they decided that this was going to be an incredible 'rally' just like their Dad's had told them about.
Their minds were always ticking, working, trying to get as much done as possible in the quickest time. They were ready to get things organized. They decided that the first thing that they should do was to make the invitations, they found a printing press, and it worked perfectly. It wasn't any flowery, pretty, colored invitation, but it was enough to get the newsie kids excited, and ready to stand up once again, just like their fathers. Limper had this all planned out, he was always so proud of his father, and now he was doing something about it!
