This is the story of a man who didn't give up

"Jingle bells Jingle bells", I sat impatiently waiting for the next train to arrive, to get me out of here, out of this dark gloomy, ghost town and into Hollywood where I can become a real writer and make my movie, the most marvelous Christmas film ever to hit the big screen. "How long can one train take?" I surprisingly yelled out load. Oh a day or so said the man at the ticket counter "a hole day?" yep sorry where closed! Now being very irritated I stomped my way to the Four-star hotel where I was staying while trying to sell my movie in New York.

Back in my room all ready I had decided "Tomorrow is the day my life is going to change" I said to myself, "I am getting on that train and going to Hollywood California!" Ding, buzz went my alarm clock "Good morning Larry ready to go?" "yep lets go!" I said to myself. I had woke up at 5 o'clock am, and was going to be the first one on the very first train of the day. "The trains here, the trains here!" I said acting like a five-year-old waiting for a toy. On the train I noticed that I was the only one there except for two little children who's parents I thought must have been meeting them in California, so I decided to sit in the very front closest to the conductor, I felt so special and excited knowing I would arrived there on Christmas and it would be the best Christmas ever!. "Yes! I've done it I made it to Hollywood I am here yea!!!" Hey wait there are those little kids and they are all alone, I wonder if they got on the wrong train?. "no matter that is not my issue off to the theatre!" I felt so jumpy and sparkly inside. When I arrived at the producers office, I told the woman at the counter that I was the writer, knowing that directors and producers were always expecting "the writer". She said yes, well Mr. Cedars office is on the third floor room 405. Trying to be very polite and acting like I knew what I was doing I replied "thank you ma'am and happy Holidays" When I was at the door of the best director in all of Hollywoods door I was surprisingly calm and knocked in a Holiday tune, yes! He said, "hello sir" I replied peeking through the door "I'm the writer, I have written what should be the best Film to hit the big screens. Oh really said Mr. Charels Cedar, let me take a look at it and come back in about 2 hours. "oh thankyou sir 2 hours it is, do you need anything while I'm out sir" true a little sucking up never hurt. No I'm fine thank you.... See yah. Bye sir.

Wow! I just met charels Cedar! Yes my moment of victory had come I was so happy... then my victory music came to a pause there where those kids I saw on the train still alone, it seemed like they had been following me, "hope they didn't see my little dance" I said under my breth. "hey you kids come here" I said acting important. Yes sir they said to me, "where are your parents?" in Florida sir, "Florida?" yes sir we were sent to New York to live with an orphanage because our parents didn't want us anymore, then the orphanage got shut down leaving all the children on their own, we snuck onto the train not knowing where it was going. "oh I see, so what are you planning on doing?" "We are not sure sir", "well I'll bet your hungry let me buy you some lunch, o.k.? "Thank you sir that sounds wonderful, by the way I'm Fred and this is my brother Pippin". "Nice to met you I'm Larry", "hello Larry nice to met you too." When I got back from having lunch with Fred and Pippin I had remembered Cedar the meeting oh no! I got to go! "Excuse me kids I'm late for a meeting I'll see you later" "goodbye Mr. Larry" young Pippin yelled out.

"sorry im late I got a little lost on the way over here "
