A 100 Years Project workshop
One evening there was a little boy called Bob and it was coming up to his 12th birthday. He woke up and his Granny came into his house and gave him a glass bottle from years ago. The bottle was all rusty and parts of it were broken, where the cap was, it was all ripped off. His Granny told him that her Dad gave it to her a year before his death.
‘Why have you given that to me and not another Grandchild?’ Bob asked.
‘You are the only Grandchild,’ she replied.
‘Why is it all broken?’
‘Because it was sitting in the attic for so long, and I dropped it on the way over. The bottle came from the sugar shop, where your great-grandad was from.’
Bob was feeling excited because he wanted to find out what the bottle meant.
Bob went to school the next day. They were
doing show and tell, and he brought in the bottle. Jimmy-Joe was making a collection of bottles and wanted to steal it. He was 11 as well and was in Bob’s class. He was a bit of a bully and could dislocate his hands. This ability was from his Dad, who broke one of his bones one day and then when it was getting fixed, he became able to dislocate things in his whole body. This skill was passed down to Jimmy-Joe.
When they were all outside, Jimmy-Joe went back inside and tried to steal it from Bob’s bag. He wanted the bottle so much because if he had every bottle in the Wild West he could fill them with some sort of water and bring people back from the dead. He realised that he was searching the wrong bag, but before he could get to Bob’s bag, Bob came into the room.
‘What on earth do you think you’re doing, rummaging in other people’s bags?!’...
