It really feels like I am in a bit over my head (not saying much, since my head isn't even 5' above the floor ...), but this is about the last part using much imperfect tense.

That same morning, don Felicidados took lunch at the best place in town and afterwards played a game of billiards with his friend, don Felipe.
Esa misma manaña, don Felicidados tomó el almuerzo en el mejor lugar de la ciudad, y luego jugó un partido de billares con su amigo, don Felipe.
During lunch and the game, they heard gossip about the tailor; that he was a blowhard, that he had a shirt with a strange message, that he ran around with thugs and ... that for such a nice young man, he showed that good people could defend themselves.
Durante el almuerzo y el partido, escucharon chismes acerca de el sastre; que era un fanfarrón, que tenía una camisa con un extraño mensaje, que se juntaba con matones y ... que para un joven tan afable, él demostraba que la gente buena puede defenderse!
None of that made sense, and don Felipe suggested that don Felicida needed some new clothes ....
.... Nada de esto tenía sentido, y don Felipe sugerió que don Felicidados necesitaba algo de ropa nueva ...
Fear not, small one, you have friends willing to help, and the only task too large is the one you are afraid to attempt.
Actually I thought Don was part of the original text because it was set in the last century. That not being the case, try Señor for a more updated feel. However, among older generations and referring to them, the use Don is still quite correct.
I am wondering if the man's name is Don Felicidades instead of Felicidados. Don being a title would be capitalized. Also matones should not have an accent, in the singular form matón yes, but not in the plural - matones.
Really nice advice from Rey 55 (his last sentence).
