A Dentist is starting off the nice day
beautifully by
watching the sunrise over
Rhode Island's
Nanaquaket Pond
So, Doctor Christopher Locanda,
who apprenticed in France and Spain,
is in no hurry to leave, so he
slowly stands up and
lazily stretches for a couple of minutes,
then he
proceeds at a relaxed pace
back to his Cabin/Dental office,
and on his way,
hard-working
beaver community.
Now,
upon reaching his office,
Doctor Christopher Locanda,
sees a bunch of kids standing by
the front door!...with an Adult.
As he walks over to them, some of the children say,
"Hi, Doctor Locanda!...We
heard about you!"
And another says,
"You fix teeth, huh, Mister?
"He's a Doctor, Shola!...Call him Doctor," says
this Lady...their Teacher...
"Hi there, Doctor Locanda, I'm their teacher,
Mrs. Jamison...All fifty of us
are from a school about two miles
down the way,
and
we decided to take a field trip and find out
more of what you do," she explains
as she shakes hands with the Doctor...
Now, the Doctor says, "Oh boy, it looks like
I'm, I mean we...
are going to have some fun today! But first...
...I need to know who wants some
fried fish cakes!"
And these kids say,
"I do, I do, I do!"
"We want some too,
Doctor!"
And this little one asks, "Are those
real fish cakes?"
"You betcha!" smiles the Doctor!
So as he fixes at least two fish cakes for
each of the
big crowd of kids,
while he explains what he does as a Dentist.
"How did you learn how to cook
so good," ask
these students.
"My Daddy taught me how to cook them,
and my brothers taught me how to eat them!," he laughs.
"Did your brothers, leave you any,
ask these two.
I had eight brothers and four sisters and
if I ate slow, I was on a diet!,"
says Dr. Locanda,
and all the kids laugh, including the teacher.
But when they were about finished,
they all hear some
loud noises and explosions, plus
a lot of gun shots.
Now, one of the Doctor's neighbors
rushes by and warns,
"There are
soldiers from both sides coming this way!
All of you better leave and get out of here now!
That battling of the Revolutionary War is
getting closer!
Now, all of the kids don't look
so happy!
So, Dr. Locanda immediately
tells everyone to
follow him to a safe place,
while he scoops up the remaining fish cakes.
And wow, do those kids
make haste out of there and into a wooded area,
because there are
active
Revolutionary War maneuverings with
soldiers
Now, the fleeing group comes upon a member of
the1st Rhode Island Regiment of the Continental Army
in the woods, and he directs,
"Why don't you all...
go deeper into the woods to get more safe...and go
east to the Big Pond!"
"Great idea," says Doctor Locanda...Soon, the Doctor finds a cave and all fifty of them go
inside
Well, they finally get out of there...and...yes...
they make it to
Nanaquaket Pond!
Whoa!...Will you look at this!...
...Another Brave Soldier from the 1st Rhode Island Regiment
is stationed at the ready on the shore
of the Pond...
