Speaker A
Even worse, Tom also lived next door to Danny. Danny had heard that God could make people's wishes come true, so he started to pray.
Speaker A
The next day, Danny skipped school. Tom caught him on the spot. But Danny wouldn't listen. He didn't go back to class.

Instead, he ran into his father on the street performing at his stand. A few men were beating his father. Danny rushed over without a second thought. He kicked one of them clean off his feet. Then he lunged at another one like
Speaker A
his life depended on it. He swung his fists and gave the guy a brutal beating.

But when he got home, his father slapped him across the face and demanded, "Why are you hanging around the streets during school hours?" Danny said quietly, "I don't want to go to school anymore. I'm going to get a
Speaker A
job so I can help you carry the load at home." As it turned out, Danny had grown up in a nightclub right by his father's side. His
