Bob walked into school feeling miserable. Every day, he would get bullied for not having any friends and always wearing an old silver locket. Inside the locket, there were memories of grandma. As well as this, the locket was the only source of memories of grandma. For some mysterious reason, Bob was never allowed to open the locket no matter what. One day his curiosity got the better of him so while Bob was sitting alone under the giant gum tree for extra security, he opened the old locket. Bob couldn’t believe his own eyes. His grandmother was the famous explorer that everyone, including him, was interested in. Nearby, the leader of the gang of bullies was spying on him and had seen the photos. The bully was amazed and immediately called his friends over to have a look at the pictures. When Bob first saw them, he instantly forgot about the pictures and tried to run away but before he could the lead bully spoke. He said that he wanted to talk to Bob about the photos. He said that his parents owned the land that Bob’s grandma had found and that he was not allowed to be mean to any relative of the explorer. After saying this Bob and the bullies got along with each other and Bob became one of the most respected students at school.
