Rico Suarez headed to work on the football field in the wee hours of the morning. He wanted to complete the yard work before it got to hot. During the week, he attended school, but on the weekends he was a part-time grounds keeper. The head groundskeeper didn't care when he did the assigned jobs, as long as they were done by the end of the weekend.
On Saturday morning, he started the ground roller, and noticed the SCUBA suited mannequin in front of it. It made this weird squishing noise, as he started to roll over it. Rico thought it was neat. He flattened it, rolled it up and took it home. He could finish the yard work later, he didn't want the rubber toy's owner to come looking for it. He raced home.
When he got to the trailer by the river, where he lived with his aunt, Rico unfurled Chad. He tugged on the rubber, and looked at two big trees about 15 feet apart. He tied Chad's arms around one tree, and pulled his legs stretching Chad's torso, and tied Chad's legs around the other tree trunk. He looked at the stretched black rubber sheet taut between the trees. He pumped his fist in the air, yes it worked. He had a riverside hammock.
