Boomer Rang Trip

When our boy got down to Harper it were late at night and he didn't want to go straight off to his old aunts' house. He wanted to give hisself time to think things over. He counted his money up and bought a return trip ticket back to Memphis. Kinda like one of them things what you throw and they come back to you, a boomer rang, doncha know. They was closing up the depot so he walked up to the main street where he come upon this old hotel. He settled hisself down on a naughty hide couch and commenced to try to go to sleep. The old night porter woked him up and told him he would be welcome to stay there for the night but if he wanted to sleep he would have to get a room. Since he didn't have no money left after his return ticket were bought he knowed he had to keep awake. Three times he left the hotel and walked around the block looking in all the store window at the clothes, furniture, and novelties what was on display. All this time he were thinking about his grandpa and what he were gonna say when he had to confront him. It warn't gonna be none too good. So he decided to go to the depot as soon as it were opened up and cash in his ticket. He hope this would give him enough money for a taxi to where the old aunts lived. And it did.
