THIS THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF PARRIS NICHOLAS DANTÈS also known as HALF PINT [/color][/font]
As a baby, Half Pint was left on the doorstep of a convent in Paris, France, with a note pinned to his blanket that said his birthday of July 27th, 1891, and that his parents didn’t have the means to care for him, and it was signed Edourd et Juliette Dantès. The nuns took him to the local orphanage, but there was no room for him because they already had more kids then they could handle. So, the nuns decided to raise him in the covenant until they could find his family or a family that could take him. They named him after the city they lived in, gave him a middle name after the Patron saint of Children (St. Nicholas of Myra), and gave him his parent’s last name.
Little Parris was always getting into trouble, pick pocketing and stealing, and was more than a handful for the nuns, which made it hard for them to find him a family. Nobody would take a trouble child. When he was 6 years old, a couple of nuns who were traveling to America, decided to take him along to see if they could find him a home there. Amidst all the chaos of Locust Point, when they arrived in Baltimore, he slipped free of them and ran off. He stowed away on a train and found himself in NYC…
Parris lived on the streets for several months sleeping in abandoned houses, building, and alleys and pick pocketing to survive, until one day he pick the wrong pocket; a newsie. To teach him a lesson, the newsie had him sell what papers were left, then got him off the streets and working as a newsie. Every now and then, you will still catch him pick pocketing when he’s bored. But, more often than not, you’ll see him trailing around after his best friend’s Snoddy or Styx.
