Learning To Read While - William M Ardrey - Bog

Can this man ever learn to read? What is the hold up on his quest. Is there any romance involved.------The ole professor claimed he had a reason for howling. I asked what could excuse such behavior. He told me he had been borne at home, on a ranch in Montana."What's so unusual about that" I had to ask. He sniffed to show he knew how, and then replied,"The only doctor available was a veterinarian and that has weight heavily on my mind all these years. Being delivered by a Vet, is disgracing. When I get loaded I start to look wall-eyed and howl".I just gave him the rest of the jug and let him go into never-never land. That would keep old Rover quite for a while. Next morning he was led back to wino alley, I thought he wanted to be among his own kind. Lesson learned; you cannot learn much from a professor, if he is a drunken Wino. ------Fire! Fire! That was the warning, yelled by someone who had done it before. The clerk was still, silly enough to run out and see what was going on. And after several trips, to the woods, and back, were made; it netted a fair supply of Nectar. It was the kind of haul, most winos can only dream about. Because a real, down and out guzzler can't think that far in the future. I still did have some, sober thoughts. Well I was back on skid row, in wino alley, guzzling the vino with the rest of the boys. There was one poor old woman lying around drunk, and it was bad. Men lying around wasted didn't look so bad, but that poor female creature did. It must be true, a few of the people that become drunks are mentally ill, but not all are.-------------As it turned out that small ape, and the Dog were in love, yes, in love. A black guy named Henry that worked there started to pet the dog. The ape jumped up, and was in a threatening posture. The ape had a look that said, "I am going to eat you alive if you move". Then the dog started to growl at the man, who just wanted to pet him. Henry had them both on him, nearly going for the kill. Luckily, we got the situation under control before any blood was shed. I did not know two different species of animals could form that kind of bond, but they did. It was love no doubt. The ape, would give the dog, a helping hand, every now and then. Yeah, what you are thinking is what it did.
