BOBBY BILL

His name is Bobby Bill, a full time user of the gullies and ally ways of New York. His occupation is begging for food and money. He also collects cans to save up for an annual subway fee. One day he decided he wanted to become rich. So Bobby saved enough money to buy a nice pair of Nikes. His plan was to trade different items. He took his Nikes to the subway and sat on a bench with a large sign that read “trade almost anything for Nikes” He sat there with the sign for 1 hour then a kind 5 year old girl traded a mp3 player for the shoes. He thanked the girl then flipped over the sign and wrote "trade for mp3 player". The rest of the day he had no luck. He went to his "home," a cardboard box, and got a good nights sleep.

The next day, waiting in line to get into the subway station, he saw flashes and heard clicking. When he went through the turnstile he saw a photographer taking his picture. Bobby looked at him like he was wacko and rolled his eyes. He was planning on having a great day, holding his sign, and reading the paper that he had found in the trash. But he could not understand why someone would take pictures of random people. He decided that he would never find out.

Day after day Bobby would trade, getting more valuable objects each time. When he was traded a taxi, he began to trade outside. He traded the taxi for a hotrod, then the hotrod for a charter bus. His objects got greater and greater in value. Soon he traded and got a house. He no longer wanted to exchange. He was happy with what he had. He got a job and in 20 years he had every thing he needed. He also had enough money to retire.

One day he was searching random blogs. He came across one that had pictures of people walking through turnstiles. He recalled the day when he walked through a turnstile as well and a photographer had taken his picture. He was looking through the pictures and he spotted himself 20 years ago as a hobo. He was glad he made that decision all those years before…………………………THE END
