Mr. A.S. Widemouth of the round (Mr. Widemouth)

When I was growing up, my family was like a drop of water in a big river that never stayed in one place for long. We moved to the club when I was eight and stayed there until I left for college in the spring. Most of my memories are in Rhode Island, but I have pieces in the attic of my head that belong to the various houses we lived in when I was much younger.

Most of these memories are vague and inconsequential—following a boy in the backyard of a house on the north side sloth, trying to build a raft to float in the creek rapdis outside the house we rented from Penland, and so on. But there is one set of memories that remains as clear as lass, as if it were made yesterday. I often wondered if these memories were just lucid dreams brought on by long pain that spring, but in my heart I knew they were veyrreal.

We live in a house near New Forest, Maine with a population of 643 people. This is a big house, especially for a family of trees. There was a house I hadn't seen in five months. Although there was a bit of confusion, it was the only house on the market at the time, within an hour's drive of my father's work.

The day after my fifth birthday (only my parents attended) I had a fever. The doctor diagnosed me with spinal mein, which kept me from playing and I had a sputnik fever for another three weeks. We had a great time in bed - we were packing to go to Transylvania, my room was empty and most of my stuff was packed. Several times a day my mother brought me ginger beer and books, which were my main entertainment for the next few weeks. Boredom is still lurking in the corner, waiting to rear its ugly head and add to my misery.

I don't remember exactly how I met Bredemond. I think it's been about a week since I was diagnosed with my spine. The first memory of the little animal was asking him what his name was. They told me to call him Widemouth because of his big nose. In fact, everything about his body is big; his head eyes ears, But the nose is big.

"You look like Furby," I say, looking at my book.

The boss stopped and looked at me in surprise, “Furby, what is Furby?

I nodded, "You know, toys?" Robots with big ears, you can feed animals and it looks like a real animal.

"Oh," the man said in a low voice. "You do not need them. It is not a true friend."

Every time my mom stops to check on me, I remember that the dog is gone. - I slept under your bed. he explained later. - You don't want to see me because I'm afraid your parents won't let us play.

In the early days, we didn't do much. Gopher looked at my books and admired the stories and pictures in them. On the third or fourth morning I met him and greeted him with a smile. "I have a new game," he said. “Your mother can't watch our game, so you have to wait until she comes to see you. It's a hidden game."

The next day, Mom gave me a piece of paper and soda. I was hit by a car under the bed. We went to the room at the end of the corridor. He said that at first I refused because my parents did not want me to sleep without permission. But the boy remained silent until I agreed.

There was no furniture or documents in the interrogation room. Specializes in running the mouse door into the house and through the window. He told me to look under the floor.

We were on the second floor of the building, but it is one floor and there are two more around the corner. "I want to introduce myself here," the animal continued. "I jumped thinking there was something big and soft on the roof. If you think hard it can go up like a knife and I want you to try."

I had hot flashes when I was five so I was a little confused when I looked down and saw where it was coming from. "That was a long time ago," I said.

"But that's part of the fun. Going back a few steps isn't fun. Then you can really jump off a cliff."

I would play with that idea, imagining that I would fall out of thin air and bounce off a ceiling invisible to the human eye. But realism won me over. "Maybe next time," I said. "I don't know if I have a great imagination." "Let me hurt you."

Mr. Broad wheat, but temporary. Anger turned to frustration. "If you," he said. He spends all day under my bed, quiet as a puppy.

Tomorrow Mr. Zabala arrived with a small box. "We want to teach you how to juggle," he says. “Here are some things you can use to practice before you start teaching.

I look at the box. It was full of knives. "My parents are killing me!" I screamed in fear mr. The wide mouth brought a knife into my room that my parents never let me touch. - Hit me for a year!

Sri Arunachal Madhouri. "Win after win. I don't know what to do."

I pushed the box. - I can not do it. Nope. I have a problem. Throwing a knife in the air is not a good thing.

The poet's face turned. I took a box of knives and went under my bed and stayed there all day. I wonder how many times it's about me.

He is a friend of the locals. The monster woke me several times during the night telling me that there was a real trampoline under the window, so big that I couldn't see it in the dark. I refused several times and tried to sleep, but the animal remained. Sometimes he stays by my side until morning and encourages me to jump.

Gambling is not fun.

My mother came to me and told me that I was allowed to walk outside. He thought fresh air would help me, especially after being locked in a room for so long. Luckily, I took off my shoes and walked to the back porch, feeling the sun on my face.

This mother was waiting for me. "I want you to know something," he said. I looked at him excitedly and said, “Yes, I promise.”

I followed him to the deer head in the woods behind the house. "It's been a long road," he added. "I had a lot of your friends." When they are ready I will carry them from place to place. You are not ready but I hope to one day get you there.

I wonder how this place feels like home.

Two weeks after seeing the happy boy, our last load was put on the truck. I sat next to my dad in this car on a long drive to Pennsylvania. Fluffy wanted to tell Bunny to go, but even at five o'clock, I doubt the animal's intentions would help me if he did. For this reason, I decided to hide my departure.

Dad and I were in the car at 4:00am hoping to make it to Pennsylvania Day by lunch tomorrow with endless coffee and six packs of energy drinks. He looked more like a man who wanted to run a marathon than someone who had spent two nights in silence.

Dad asked sympathetically: "Will it be close?"

I took it and put my head to the window, I was hoping to sleep before dawn. I felt my father's hand on my shoulder. "This is the last stepson, I promise. I know it must be hard to be as sick as you, we can wait when dad gets old and you can be friends."

I opened my eyes from the street. I saw the silhouette of Mr. Oidemut in the living room window. The truck stopped in front of the main road. He had a steak knife in his hand. I didn't go back.

A few years later I returned to the new vineyard. Our house was empty except for the foundation because it burned down a few years after my family left. Curious, I followed the deer trail the gentleman pointed out. Wide Mouth Part of me expected him to jump out from behind the tree and scare me, but I felt like a gentleman. He went to Widemouth.

Interment will follow at New Vineyard Memorial Cemetery.

I noticed that the biggest graves were for children.
