With in the first week of school, Joey appears saddened and frustrated... loaded backpack in hand... with a gaping hole.... "Oh, well, just stop by walmart on the way home to pick up a new one..." (sarcastic mom). Poor Joey, it is the backpack Uncle Wally gave him... evidently, too many books at the new school.
Well, I happened to know, just because I know stuff, that there are little people in India who just sit there all day and repair bags and shoes and stuff... So, on the way home, Kumar-the-driver stops at one of these handy little men with their foot pedal sewing machines right on the side of the road with a street dog as a supervisor... 20 Rs later (that's like 40 cents) the bag is all stitched back into shape... Joey and mom are happy.
