When he was ten, Mr. Bob took Bones and nine other kids from the settlement house to Fairmont Park. Fairmont Park is the largest Municipal Park in the world. It’s a wonderful, safe, and green place. The air is fresh, and the water is clean. Bones and the rest of the kids had a wonderful time. They found frogs, snails, and spotted a rabbit or two. Bones even claimed to have spotted a deer. Apparently, the trip made a big impression on little Bones. When the trip was done, Bones actually kissed Mr. Bob’s hand in gratitude. It’s a gesture Mr. Bob never forgot. Bobby |

Now here there is a Mr. Bob, who showed his heart for these children. He probably was surprised by the kiss, because he did it without expecting anything in return, as a real act of unconditional love. But the spontaneity of the gesture was surely appreciated and shows also Bones' heart was truly sensitive and generous. This was on a lighter tone, dear Bobby, I am glad there existed moments like these in Bones' life. Love, Margherita |

Bone’s escapades are fun to read and I believe based on the truth. |

Thanks OwlSA, Mr. Bob was more than grateful for having a friend like "Bones" in his life. Some people you just can never forget. Love Bobby |
