Andre and the bomb

Andre, when at Public School (prep) , Ashdown House, in194?, a German bomb fell
In a field on school property. Doing no damage. When it cooled off, all the little boys
From the school ran hither & dither to collect the pieces of the bomb.
Andre got the best & biggest one, with the name of the maker & the date.
Can you imagine the great difficulty of a 8 year boy to carry & hold this bomb??
I don’t know how he managed, but he did.?

Andre loved this bomb more than life itself and it was always with him wherever &
Whenever he traveled.
Although he lost most of his possessions here & there, he never, but never lost the
Bomb. From London, New York, L.A. , Switzerland, Rome, Mexico & who knows
Where else. It’s with him……..
One would think he won the war, just by owning it. (the bomb, I mean)!

In 198?, Andre had a stroke & thought he was due to see his Maker. So Alex, his son &
Heir rushed to Poland to see him off.
And guess what???
Andre gave Alex the bomb!!
And guess what??
Alex put this precious possession in storage, forgot to pay the paltry sum , and in 2
Months, LOST IT!!

Not quite………..THE END………. Of the story.

Love to all, Iris
