Being a homeless kid, without a penny, only having his supplies for work, would boot black for ten cents a shine. Having a eye for business and a clever wit he managed better than the other boys. And by that, means he was able to have enough for food on most days. Without proper guidance he would spend the little extra money he earned on gambling, drinking, and smoking. Dick regarded himself as a hardworking noble young boy, with good morals, who ould never cheat or steal, just trying to make it up in the world.

Always having an open eye for business, he landed the job of guiding a nephew of a respectable man, around the city. Frank the nephew was visiting his uncle, wanting to check out New York City. The uncle however had to work and would not be able to show Frank around. Dick, who always kept an open eye for business seized the opportunity and offered his services as guide. These two young men were from two completely different classes. Frank lived with a noble family in a comfortable home, and also attended school. Dick was homeless, with o family, and no education.

Within a few short hours and a few confrontations, Frank saw Dick as a young guy who had a hard beginning making it and taking care of himself. With a few things stopping him from being where he wanted to be. Dick saw frank as an example the next step in becoming a respectable man. Frank saw a future in Dick and encouraged him to not spend his extra change needlessly but on saving for the future, and to accomplish what he wants in life. After those few hours Dick walked away with a friend, a greater sense of self, new goals for the future, as well as a new suit.
