HENRY, O.: Tildy's Moment

Tildy and Aileen are waitresses at Bogle's Family Restaurant in New York. Aileen is popular in Bogle's because is tall and beautiful, but Tildy isn't popular, she is short and fat and not beautiful. Aileen always has many boys at her disposition but Tildy no, but one night, a boy that was drunk kissed Tildy and she got some wrong ideas about that, but next day she arrived to the conclusion of that it was just because he was drunk.

I like this story because it's real.

I like the story because it's interesting. I like the part when Mr Seeders kisses Tildy. I don't like the part when Tildy cries.
