Horatio's lucky penny page 2 by ric gustafson
Horatio slowly walked through the deep snow. He was heading toward his favorite place, the warm grate of Dominick's Restaurant. It was Christmas Eve. The restaurant was quiet. Horatio was cold and shivering. The Italian restaurant was a favorite of Horatio's. The grate was warm and they always threw away a lot of food in the nearby dumpster.
Horatio stopped at the grate. He warmed himself over it. Then he walked over to the green dumpster. He opened it. He peered inside. He took out styrofoam containers that contained leftover pizza, pasta and garlic bread. He grabbed the containers and shut the dumpster. As he walked away, he noticed something shiny on the cold snowy ground. He picked up what appeared to be a new shiny penny. Horatio smiled. " This must be my lucky day". He put the penny into a pocket of his threadbare pants. He picked up the containers. He began to walk back toward the tent colony.
