Our Indian Pope

This morning when I was running, I passed three black boys going to school. The tallest was telling the younger ones: "Our Indian Pope is running around the block."
 
I said, "Thank you, thank you!"
 
I am also known for my monkeys. Three or four times I have heard school children talking about them. The children stand in the street and watch them on my porch.
