George, fat, buck teeth, squinty eyes, the refrain from his high school class forever playing in his mind, ” Georgie Porgie, pudding, and pie kissed the girls and made them cry, when the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away”. George not caring about the jibes of others is blessed with an even disposition, always happy, especially consuming a large chocolate extreme Blizzard from Dairy Queen. George, is physically comfortable in the water, the cushioning effect on his bulk allowing him to move more freely, and gracefully than on land.
George standing on the beach, stomach protruding, eating a chocolate bar, looking into the distance seeing obvious signs of distress, and reacting instantly. George the hero, rescuing a drowning boy, bewildered by the applause and praise from the onlookers witnessing his heroic act. George, fat, buck-toothed, squinty eyes, igniting a spark of decency and camaraderie into a small crowd on a sunny beach, hoping that spark will become a flame.

A very perceptive story, clearly told, about the ungainly boy, the butt of jokes, but with a lovely nature and capable of heroism. Lighting a spark of decency right enough. Here’s to the flame…

Good luck to the protagonist. (Repressing a long-internalized cynicism, socially-warped view of the world and the people who make it up… lol. no! seriously)

That was a lovely story. He may be a big guy, that George, but I think we need *more* of him!

I am glad to hear George rescued that drowning boy. He probably still needs to go on a diet.

Thanks for commenting, Doug. George is unique, one of a kind. They just don’t make them from the same mold anymore.

There is more to him than any guessed, i think that’s true of many a “plain” or “awkward” person.

George, the one with the heart and the get up and go to get in and save the other boy, with no thought for himself. And I’m inferring from your words that it was because he was a bit plump that he was the right one for the job. A great six. Thank you.
