THE SATURDAY HERO — Can strikes a superhero pose on a sunny neighbourhood street, a toolbox in one hand and a barbecue spatula raised in the other, a striped picnic blanket tied around his shoulders like a cape, neighbours cheering behind him under plain striped bunting.
Morning on a quiet residential street: neighbours set up long tables, chairs and plain striped bunting for a block party.
Caption Saturday. The block party starts at noon.
A neighbour in a sun hat stares in dismay at a cold barbecue grill.
Neighbour shouts: The grill's dead!
Can rolls up his sleeves with a confident grin.
Can says: Leave it to me.
Can lies half under the grill with an open toolbox beside him.
Flames burst to life in the grill; Can grins, a smudge of soot on his cheek.
A gust of wind tears the striped bunting loose and carries it down the street.
Caption Then the wind joined the party.
Can sprints down the sidewalk after the flying bunting and leaps over a low hedge.
Can snatches the bunting out of the air at the top of a stepladder, arm raised in triumph.
Two kids on the sidewalk jump and cheer.
Kids shouts: Again! Again!
Evening at the block party: string lights glow over the long tables, and Can stands at the grill serving everyone, a homemade paper crown on his head, the neighbours laughing around him.
Caption Every street needs a hero. Ours wears an apron.
