• [first lines] 

  Heather : So even if Columbus got lost and wasn't the first to discover America, he's still my hero. He was really brave to sail in such a tiny ship over a really big ocean. And because of him, we get Columbus Day off of school.

  Teacher : Thank you Heather. Uh, Ronnie? Tell us about your hero.

  Ronnie - 11 years : [writes HACHIKO on the blackboard]  Hachiko was my grandfather Wilson's dog. Everyone called Hachi a mystery dog because they never really knew where he came from. Maybe Hachi escaped from a dog pound. Or maybe he jumped out of somebody's car some place far away, like Florida or New Jersey. But no matter how, Hachi was lost.
