Preface:
Off in the distance, a train barrels forth with no end in site. 25 paces dead ahead… a boy named Peter, excited by the train whistle, deposits a quarter on the train track and retreats to side lines. Nearby, a girl named Rosie watched on, camera in hand, finding this boy quite curious. The train left as quickly as it came.. the same way a fast ball is knocked out of the park by a major leaguer. No doubt, the coin was flattened. Peter was happy. In all the excitement, the coin was lost however. It was almost as if the train snatched it up as a toll, as it passed by the small town. Peter was sad. Just when the boy had lost all hope, Rosie spotted something shiny beneath track. She reached into the small crack and pulled something out. She had found it! Holding out her hand, Rosie gave the small treasure back to Peter. As his eyes lit up, they began their trek back to the car. After about 25 paces, Rosie turns around, holds up her lens, and… Click!

Okay, where has this Pete been HIDING?! I LOVE the story. It was right there inside the photo. He pulled it out like a long crunchy carrot growing sweeter under the winter snow!
