" Great, Mom, thanks, " Bob yelled, and was almost out the front door before her voice stoped him.

" Robert, what on earth does the messeage mean ?  Is Jupiter using some kind of fantastic code ?"

" No, Mom. It's plain, ordinary English. Well, I've got to hurry. "

Bob poped out the door, awung onto his bike, and started for The Jones Salvage Yard.

When he was riding bicycle, the brace on his leg bothered him hardly at all.
He had 'won the brace,' as Dr.Alvarez put it, by foolishly trying to climb one of the hills near Rocky Beach all alone.

Rocky Beach is built on a flat spot, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Santa Monica Mountains on the other.


AS mountains, they might be considered a bit small, but a hills they are very big.

Bob had rolled down some five hundredfeet of slope and wound up with his leg broken in umpteen places.
A new record, the hospital asured him.

However, Dr.Alvarezsaid that eventually the brace could come off and he would never know he had once worn it.

Although it was sometimes a nuisance, it didn't really bother him most of the time.
