Nov 18 — Mr. Donner was very nice when I came back and asked him for my old job at the bakery.
First he was very suspicious but I told him what happened to me,
and then he looked very sad and put his hand on my shoulder and said Charlie you got guts.
Everybody looked at me when I came downstairs and started working in the toilet sweeping it out like I used to do.
I said to myself Charlie if they make fun of you don't get sore because you remember they're not so smart like you once thought they were.
And besides they were once your friends and if they laughed at you that doesn't mean anything because they liked you too.
One of the new men who came to work there after I went away his name is Meyer Klaus did a bad thing to me.
He came up to me when I was loading the sacks of flour and he said hey Charlie I hear you're a very smart fella—a real quiz kid.
Say something intelligent. I felt bad because I could tell by the way he said it he was making fun of me.
So I kept on with my work. But then he came over and grabbed me by the arm real hard and shouted at me.
When I talk to you boy you better listen to me. Or I could break your arm for you.
He twisted my arm so it hurt and I got scared he was going to break it like he said.
