The
Problem with Bob the Tiger
By Seven Year Old
Spencer Reid of Tucson , AZ
There once was a tiger named Bob. His favorite food was rabbit but when he ate
rabbit, the rabbit ears kept getting stuck in his teeth. He looked really silly with those big rabbit
ears hanging out of his mouth. When he
went to school, the other tigers laughed at him. So, Bob dropped out of school. All of the other tigers were asking their
teacher where Bob was. Their teacher
said, “Bob has dropped out of school.” Bob
decided to live somewhere else, where tigers wouldn’t laugh at him. He lived on
top of a cliff all by himself. One day,
he heard a strange noise that sounded like tigers! He ran to the edge of the cliff. He saw saber tooth tigers. They were trying
to steal all of the food. He ran down
the cliff to where the saber tooth tigers were.
He was scared. He still had the
rabbit ears hanging out of his mouth. So
he looked kind of like a saber tooth tiger.
In fact, he looked like and sounded like the king of the saber tooth
tigers. They started to bow down to
him. He stopped and paused for a
second. He told the saber tooth tigers
to never harm anyone. They thought that
he sounded like the king. They let him
go. He decided to go visit his old
school. The other tigers wanted him to
come back to school, so they asked him what would make him come back. He said he didn’t want the rabbit ears to get
stuck in his teeth. They gave him an
idea. They told him to cut off the ears
before he ate them! This worked and
nobody ever teased him again.
The End
*****
With Spencer’s and his mother’s approval
I have also used these “Bob” stories in my great novel “The Giorgioni Legend.” In thinking about the “Bob” stories as a
psychiatrist, it appears to me that Spencer in the flesh is a lonely child
looking for someone to be his friend. It
is easy to see that such an intelligent youngster might have some difficulty
relating to other children his age. I
strongly recommend the “Bob” stories for those persons of any age…be it three
years or ninety three.
The
Adventures of Bob the Mexican Jumping Bean
By Seven Year Old
Spencer Reid of Tucson , Arizona
Once upon a time, there was a desert so dry that no one
wanted to live there. It was so dry that
not a drop of water fell and no one was able to live there except for one. His name was Bob. He was a Mexican Jumping Bean. He was so lonely. He wanted to find a friend but no matter
where he looked, he could not find one!
He wanted to give up but then one day a very strong wind blew him
thousands of miles away and he landed in a pond full of fish. He didn’t know where he was and wanted to go
home. He needed to find someone who
could help him. He started walking and
came across a town. The town was full of
bright colored buildings and big office buildings. As he walked, he ran into another Mexican
Jumping Bean. He asked this bean to help
him find his way home. The bean told him
“No.” Bob has to find a way home and
someone else to help him. He asked
everyone in this town but no one was willing to help him. They ALL said “No!” So, Bob kept walking. Bob came to another town. This town was old and the buildings were
moldy. Bob soon found out that the town
was deserted. Bob had to walk miles and
miles until he found another town. The
third town had lots of streams running through it and it was full of life. Bob thought this town was very peaceful. It had lots of big flowers. The people were very nice here and Bob found
a new friend. He was another Mexican
Jumping Bean and his name was Cheese.
Bob asked Cheese if he could see a map.
Cheese got Bob a map and they looked at it together. The map said the
desert where Bob lives is 1,307 miles away.
Bob now had to make a decision. He had to decide whether to go back to the
desert or to stay here with people and his friend Cheese. He finally decided that he would rather be
with friends than be alone in the desert.
Cheese showed Bob around his new home. They walked all over town and passed the
Capitol building. There was a sign on
the building that read: “Mayor seat is open!” Bob told Cheese that he was going to run for
Mayor. He did and he won!
Moral: sometimes all you need is a friend.

My New book
My New Book:
"Title: "The Heart is a Hound Dog Baying For love"
This 200 page book is an epilogue to my 430 page book "The Giorgioni Legend." Gwen L. Hunte, the daughter of a wealthy aeronautical company has been in love with Captain Clyde Amos Giorgioni since she was a child. Captain Clyde, a carrier pilot, is sent home on temporary leave after missing a landing on the carrier Enterprise. Prepared to die, Clyde is miraculously saved the next morning by the crew of the submarine Cuttlefish. He returns to Dallas on temporary leave and to run the US Marine recruiting office until called back to duty. While downtown at noon mass by newly frocked father McNaire, Clyde and Gwen sit in the same pew. At lunch she tells Clyde that she is a graduate of Bryn Mar and that her goal in life to have five children...she a single child. Clyde the athletic and pal type of man is nonetheless drawn into he web of love.
The dating, proposal and marriage are worth a book of it's own.
1. In 1943 there are twins: Caraline (little mommy) and her twin William Scott, a boy genius.
2. Then follows Ellie, a sweet and darling child, (a loveable peacemaker).
3. The fourth child is a boy with his maternal grandfather's name which is the name taken from his rough and ready maternal grandfather...Jerome Lee Hunee) The last is a boy named after his father...Clyde Amos Giorgioni Jr.
The setting is WW22 and the war in the Pacific against Imperial Japan.
Clyde is recalled for duty to serve as a carrier pilot in the battle of Okinawa Island...a terrible and sage battle. (Both ladies and gentlemen will learn lots of history in this epilogue as well as thrills and chills for Clyde now back at war and now with a family and two children. and Gwen pregnant with the third cut little Ellie.
After peace is declared in August 2 on the battleship Missouri, Clyde and his buddy Jeb Beaumonte begin an air travel line called the Patriot Line.
It is worth the whole book to travel with the Patriot crew to:
1. Kyoto, Japan
2. Mount Rushmore in South Dakota
3. The But chart Gardens in Vancouver, British Columbia
4. The lovely Arizona city of Sedona and its environs.
r. The star trip is a trip up the east side of the Grand Canyon (one of the seven wonders of the world.- The reader will discover the geography of the Grand Canyon to more than match the scanty knowledge of some so-called experts.
The best is yet to come ! President Harry S. Truman asks Clyde and Jeb to go to the North Korea on a special mission/ The Patriot crews performs expertly and is honored in Congress and by President Truman for their courage and valor in saving hundreds of lives.
No one whatsoever will want to miss the surprise ending which is a double-header and includes the Oval Office and the flight home on the President's airplane the Sacred Cow.
The final and ending paragraphs a surprisingly and touching.
If you fail to read this 200 or less page book you will regret it immensely!!!

I am presently working on a book with numerous short storied for all ages. One of my most loved are to very short stories by seven year old Spencer Reid of Tuscon AZ. I call these "Bob" stories as the main character's name is "Bob." Bob is always looking for a friend be it a saber toothed tiger or a Mexican jumping ben. Spencer is now a strapping now a tall and teenager no longer writes stories. My heart pains see such talent lay fallow in the untilled soil of teenland.
is
Another short story is entitled "The Death of a Warrior." This tale has an element of truth as the main character was actually my friend who fought in WW2.

How to Protect your manuscript.
From experience I have had several near disasters, one of which was that my computer turned off for some reason that is not yet known. The second disaster was that a well-trained computer secretary lost a whole story of more than 400 pages. Despite brining in experts, this document had fled my computer never to be seen again.
However, to this point, I still have an accurate copy of all I have written. If you want to know how I did this read on.
Things to do to preserve your manuscript:
1. I am mad about these small "flash" discs. To me, they represent the safety net used by circus high rope walkers. After working on every manuscript, I and my secretary go through a routine to put the newly worked manuscript on a flash disc.
What is more I keep only the last manuscript worked. Being legally blind, this action prevents me from working on the wrong document.
Another help for preserving your work is to see that an important copy is kept in another computer in your home such as that of your wife, or etc. Now, when you have finished your manuscript, put a finished copy on a flash disc and put it in your bank vault. Be sure the envelope it is in is well labeled for quick identification. To be really fussy, print out the manuscript, and put this hard copy in your bank vault.. If you don't have a bank vault, put a flash disc in a well-marked envelope and give it to someone you trust. Be sure it has the copyright declaration on your manuscript.
To be sure I am working on the last corrected manuscript, I, when completing the work the previous day (or time) put the date at the very top of the manuscript such as 3-31-14. Believe me, it doesn't matter whether you are working on one or ten manuscript, you must follow some pattern such as that above to preserve your hard-to-duplicate literary work.
A tip on correcting a line of your manuscript:
Again, folks, I am legally blind so I often need to do special things to correct lines. Below is an example of "my way."
"The little yellow dog jumped over the sleeping fox."
Lets say that I want to change the word 'jumped' to ''hurdled'. In order to not mess up the line, I make a line break before the word "jump" and then put in the word "hurdled.," then , removing "jumped from the last part of the line, I hit the break key and put the line back together, now the line containing the word "hurdled" instead of "jumped." This explanation only complicated because I haven't thought of a more simple way to put it. All that I can say is "this works wonders for me."

The heart is a Hounddog baying for love
3-25-14
Coming Soon
The title of this less than 100 page book is: "The Heart is a Hound Dog Baying for Love"
The subtitle is: Gwen Lee Hunt loves war hero, Clyde Giorgioni.
This work is an epilogue to "The Giorgioni Legend." and is less than 100 pages in length.
For those who have not read the main book, Clyde is the son of Mike and Anita Giorgioni who has just returned from the WW2 famous Battle of the Midway Atoll. where he spent the night in the bowl of his parachute after a botched landing on the carrier Enterprise.
(I plan to eventually put "The Giorgioni Legend" on Amazon for downloading on your Kindle,
Clyde, after rescue by the submarine Cuttlefish, is awarded the Air Medal and Purple Heart and returns for a temporary leave to Dallas, TX where he is put in charge of the US Marine recruiting service in downtown Dallas. After a noontime sermon by a newly frocked priest of the downtown Catholic Church, Clyde and Gwen meet. It is at this point that a memorable and tender love affair begins between Clyde and Gwen, she almost exacting the promise that she, raised as an only child, would tolerate a family of at least five children.
Their marriage is a glamorous and spectacular affair as Gwen's father is CEO of the St. Louis Aeronautical Company.
Wayne Sands, MD waynesands12@aol.com
Alas and alas and alas. After three children Clyde is recalled to duty to again be a fighter pilot in the most savage and deadly battle of all time....the Battle of Okinawa. The author has studied many battles but that of Okinawa . As I always mix in history with the story, the reader will fine that learning history is quite painless if a part of a story.
I would like very much to tell you of the bang-up ending as well as some very tender family happening but that would deny you the fun a privilege of discovering happenings in this book which have passed me and others by.
Oh yes, my secretary says that Gwen had Clyde in her sights when she was only a young child. Of course that is something to consider as you read this tale of adventure, romance and action.
