Karlo



Karlo & friend.
Karlo is learning to play tennis. We are hitting balls on court 14. After play on 12 & 13 ends those courts are now empty. A mother comes through the gate in the fence that surrounds these 3 tennis courts.  She is walking a bicycle and holding a small child in the seat, and steering it around court 13. Suddenly mom falls, the bike also falls, and the kid starts crying. Karlo beats me to the bike and picks up the kid.. He turns the child's foot to ease the pressure on the foot, which is caught between the bike's fork frame and the wheel. The kid stops crying. Karlo says Howard, let the air out of the tire. I push the stem in the valve, psssssssssss, the air comes out, the tire gets soft and the kid's foot is released. Karlo gives the kid to mom.  Oh yeah, Karlo is 11.
