Ali Sard is a young boy who gets a part time job mowing the grass as his uncle's back yard, however the job is so immense that every time he mows the yard the grass quickly grows back and his stingy uncle will only pay two Dooklas as in two cents a day.
His uncle slams the door angry after seeing that his nephew Ali isn't doing a good job even when Ali is trying his hardest and the two Dooklas he got paid is not enough for Ali to live on and survive on his own from so he gets another job that is more dangerous.
He would have to paint flagpoles on Sundays in Grooz and that is an unlucky and an unsafe job for him to work every Sunday as well as mowing his Stingy Uncle's backyard of quick growing grass.
He is from the book Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
