Johnny Appleseed

Bob the Hobo does not know how to read, which is why he had to take reading lessons when he found a book lying on the street. Of course, he failed miserably. So, lets just agrees that he DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO READ AND WILL NEVER LEARN HOW TO READ! OK, so when he found the book, he was really interested. He had never seen anything so... weird! And he wanted to read it. He went house to house to see if anyone would read it to him. Obviously, know one would. I mean, if a weird hobo showed up at your door and asked you to read him a book, would you??? Probably not, unless you were a little weird upstairs. Anyway, finally he found that person who was weird upstairs, a little old granny with white hair up in a bun. Stereotypical, yes, but it does happen. She was a widow, and was lonely, so she was just happy and offered to read the book because she wanted company. The book was about Johnny Appleseed. Bob became soooo absorbed he actually listened to the whole thing without doing something Bob the Hobo-like. After the granny was done, (Miss Molasses was her name, or at least that was what Bob heard), Bob thanked her and left very fast. The poor Miss Molasses was very sad to see him go, but at least he had left her the interesting book about Johnny Appleseed. Besides, he might come back another time. Anyhow, Bob now saw Johnny as a role model, and wanted to be just like him. So, the next time he got a strawberry, he picked out all the little seeds in on the outside. He did that with, say, the next 23 strawberries he got. He probably ended up with... a LOT of seeds. You cannot make me do the math. I guesstimate, though, about 1,649 seeds. As you have guessed, he wanted to be Bobby Strawberry(seed??). Ha ha. So he went around digging up holes in peoples yards and burying one seed in each hole. People yelled at him for making holes in their yards, but he knew he was doing a good deed, so he just ignored them. But the strawberry bushes (trees??) didn't grow!!! HE got all mad and threw the rest of his seeds at the next person he saw. Then, he went and dug up all the places where he had buried the strawberry seeds. Then he went home and cried his eyes out. Poor, poor, Bob. If YOU want to make him feel better, call 555-2552 to tell him... whatever you wanna tell him to make him feel better!
