A Summers Life

1. The one aspect of Soto's life that was most interesting is when he had the three chicks. Soto had three chicks in his back yard that he was raising.

His buddy Johnny asked Soto for a piece and he told him to get away. He ate the whole pie by himself. After he ate the pie and the day ended, he felt guilty. The
