Old Henry is an interesting story about a man that the community is not too happy with. He moves into a junky, old house and doesn’t take care of it at all. The community just can’t seem to figure out why Henry will not weed his garden, clean his hosue, and sweep the walk way. Henry is very content with the way things are. The people in the community give him such a hard time that he moves away. Everyone is sad and misses him while he is gone, even though his home was a mess.
