I walked home with my little brother every day the same way, past an old factory. Mom always told us to walk together and never to talk to strange men. One day, that walk home changed forever. As my brother and I passed the factory, I heard an old man's voice. "Hey there, children." I turned and saw a very old man standing there with a sweet smile on his face.
I was already hot from walking and carrying my heavy backpack, but I told him we were not allowed to talk to strangers. "Oh, I understand. And your mom's right. My name is Bobby. Now run along," he said as he disappeared behind the gate of the factory.
I went home and reported to my mom what had happened. My mother told me that I was right not to talk to strangers, so I tried avoiding this stranger for the following few days, but it was impossible. Other streets were not as safe to walk on, and every time we passed the factory, a familiar voice would say, "Hello there, children."
Then one day, my family was taking a walk around the neighborhood. We were just about to pass the factory when I noticed the gate was open. I silently prayed that Bobby would appear and prove once and for all that he was a "good" stranger. And there he was.
He smiled as he approached my parents, and greeted them warmly. The genuine smile and surprise on my parents' faces were all I needed to see.
They spoke for a few minutes and then, walking home, they said Bobby was a veteran(退伍军人)without a family but loved kids and that it would be safe for us to visit Bobby after school.
My brother and I would stop to visit Bobby after school every day after that. He would invite us into his tiny office to talk about my schoolwork, my friends, and sports.
It wasn't long before I started getting a few friends to walk home with me just to meet Bobby. Before long, a group of about fourteen kids went daily to visit Bobby and received our sodas and gum. Thinking back, I now realize that Bobby bought all those treats just for us… and there were a lot of us to treat!
We visited Bobby every day after school for about three years!
