Their senior projects are due in a few weeks! Don't you think that you owe it to the gentlemen, and the school, to try and help them as much as possible?"She steadied her voice, "I- I'd be happy to help them with anything... As long as...

The dresses were none too clean and had been worn, but all in all it was a nice gift."Sam, we have to go shopping if you have any money." Both girls looked expectantly at me."Well what did you have in mind?" I thought maybe we could go buy some cloth to give to the Indians. The only Indians that knew what we were saying were the kids that Kenny has been teaching. They said it was a wonderful idea. The Indian teepees and everything in them are so dark.
