Once upon a Time…

He decided to open a homeless restaurant in a phone booth. He just knew he could help, even when others spoke foul of him out of jealousy and spite.

The phone booth was small, but it was big enough for one person at a time. James Brown would cook a meal and then swap out with the homeless person who ate the meal. Only one person could be in the phone booth at a time.

James Brown would also take orders. His quickest meals were oatmeal cereal with peaches for breakfast or eggs and ham. For lunch, he would make ham and cheese sandwiches or bologna and cheese sandwiches or hamburgers or cheeseburgers. He would make all kinds of meals with shrimp. Or he would make hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes. He always had fruit and gave each homeless person a banana and an apple or a banana and an orange to take with them. He also had hot coffee and tea and fruit drinks.

After he finished cooking each night, James Brown would turn his phone booth into a shower booth. The homeless people could take a shower and get clean and dry clothes to put on after their shower.
