The Treasure of Lemon Brown Resolution
I yell out Mr. Brown name if he was there.Lemon Brown told me he got their flashlight. I asked if he was okay, he told me he only had a few bumps and bruises. I told him that I should be going home before the three men come back. He told me to stay for a while to make sure that the three men aren't waiting outside.He also told me that he is going to St. Louis tomorrow. I asked if he really had a treasure, he said if I wanted to see his treasure. I told him if he wanted to. He said that first we check the window and see what the three men are doing. We looked out the window, we saw that they were sitting on the curb near the corner, one of them was looking at his knee. I asked Lemon Brown if he really was okay,he told there nothing that been hurt before in the past, I smiled at him. He gave me the flashlight he untied the strings from the rags that were on his right leg. When the rags were put away, I saw a piece of plastic, Lemon Brown unfolded the piece of plastic.He showed me yellowed newspaper clippings and a battered harmonica. The newspaper clippings were more than fifty years ago.He told me when he used to travel around and make money for his wife and son, his wife died and his son stayed with the wife's sister. He told me he didn't have much to give to his son so he gave him the newspaper clippings and the harmonica. His son went off to war Lemon Brown came home and there was these letter saying his son died in the war. They sent back what his son had over there.They sent back the harmonica and the newspaper clippings. He said it meant something to his son and that is his treasure.Lemon put his treasure back where it was. I asked him if it really was worth fighting for against pipe? He said that I ask a lot of foolish questions.Lemon Brown looked out the window. He said that it looks they ate gone, He said he will be watching me from the window. I was down the stairs when I asked him if he was going to be okay? He told me he was going to St.Louis in the morning. I told him to take care of his treasure. He said that he will take care of the treasure.I didn't care how late it was, while I was walking home I wondered if I should tell my farther about Lemon Brown, I decided not to tell him because Lemon is going to be okay with is treasure. I pushed the button over the bell marked Ridley. Then I thought of what my farther is going to say to me I just smiled because I was glad that Lemon Brown is going to be okay and that I am home.
