Document Summary
In a stroke of good fortune, primo and alberto get some extra soup each day from lorenzo. The pair have a special pot, called a "menaschka," made to carry it: this extra soup makes primo and alberto superstars in the camp for awhile. People who previously didn"t pay them any attention now want to be their friends: the duo also has some other action going on, primo has been smuggling brooms into the camp to the block ltester. He checks out one file from the tool-store and exchanges it for two smaller files at the exchange market. He then sells one, and returns the other to the tool-store: alberto"s major achievement, though, is how he"s recently started stealing colored labels from his work detail and selling them to the all the block lteste. The price is pretty steep, too: ten rations of bread.
