We read about how proud Jose is to be not just a farmhand, but a member of that number and a citizen of Zoo Island and how it makes him want to shout with this pride. And now we get the aftermath of the census from Jose's point of view. 88 1/2" (one of the women had given birth). We then end this short story with Jose and company putting a sing up over the entrance to the farm reading "Zoo Island. Jose thanks him and Simon expresses his approval of the census and tells the boys that they should name the farm "Zoo Island", for his own reasons. He did that too, but mostly in his mind where no one could hear it, he said. Jose was curious and asked Simon why he didn't talk much and Simon explained it was because he didn't want to say anything that wouldn't help him later or make him look like a fool.Most people talk too much, even talk to themselves.
The boys ask Don Simon his age (old enough), when he was born (when his mother "born" him), where he was born (in the world), and if he had any family (no). Something reminds them that they've forgotten someone Don Simon, a man who lives on the other side of the farm. Jose, Hank and Jitter count eighty-six people (counting unborn children as halves), which is more than the number of people in the town where they buy grocieries. Their antics are discussed and debated by their elders, but are nonetheless encouraged in their escapade. Loving vs.In Zoo Island, Tomas Rivera is telling the story of Jose, a young farmhand and his friends Hank and Jitter who decide to take a census of the people living on the farm with them.
