Journey Of Discovery

John only had one toy but he had a good imagination and a garden with a fine tilth.

He had a patch of his own behind the loganberry bush and next to the chicken run. The battered bluebird racing car made tracks. An old tablespoon was the construction tool. He had his own building site. He could be anyone anywhere.

It was when he was digging to Australia that he made his great find. A battered container, the size of a jumbo matchbox, rattled in his hands. John cleaned up the coins and found they included a valuable 1933 penny.
