A short story about Bob

They bobbed Bob during the bob as he bobbed very bob and bob and then ended with a bob.

Bob bobbed them with a bob and then with a bob and a bob to the bob that bobbed in a bob.

 They bobbed, bobbed and then bobbed at him as they had tried to bob Bob.

 As they tried to bob and bob Bob, he bobbed them with a sharp bob as they hung a bob like a bob and gently moved the bob as he tried to bob.

 Bob looked instead like a bob with his bob on the end of the bob.

 They all bobbed him as they bobbed on his bob as the bob.

Here is the translation

They mocked Robert during the Scottish dance as he moved up and down very quick and jerky and then ended with a quick courtesy.

Robert struck them with a long racing skate and then with a rap with his fist and a light blow to the knob of hair that bunched in a hanging cluster.

 They jeered, taunted and then scoffed at him as they had tried to cheat and trick Robert.

 As they tried to deceive and make a fool of Robert, he blasted them with a sharp jest as they hung a shilling like a float on a fishing line and gently moved the knoblike pendant as he tried to catch it in his teeth.

 Robert looked instead like a small polishing wheel with his docked tail on the end of the working beam.

 They all flouted him as they tapped on his log racing sled as a short refrain in the song.

The Beginnings

From genealogy research, I discovered that I came from German, English and possibly French ancestry.

As I looked back and swepted up the past for the Leesleys, the Jones, the Majors and the Beaman's, I found that my great grandmother was a Budong  and married a Jones and that was the name in my ancestry that I could follow back many generations.

In fact so many records were available that I could follow the names all the way back to 1640's.  Little information was known about "Francis Budlong" my oldest known ancestor.  Family legends suggest that he was a Hyguenot refugee from France who first came to England and changed his name from Bourdillon or Boutelogne.  He and his parents probably worshipped there new faith in secrect as to not be persecuted  during the French Resoration period when the Catholics were killing the prodecents. tt to avoid the persecution and death. He somehow found  his way via a short stay in England to Warwick,  Road Island, the most liberal of the new colonies in America.  ,On a grainite monument at the Brayton Cemetery in Apponaug, the story begins. It states that Francis was born in 1641.  In March 19, 1969, Francis married a widow Rebecca Lippitt  They live at a lot on the eastern portion of Warwik Neck in what is now the Longmeadow area  .Records show that Francis Budlong became a freeman on April 30, 1672 and was allowed to vote in the town's government. and shortly afterword joined his neighbors to stand together against the intrusions of Connecticut. The Budlongs became to raise a family, at least one boy. named John Budlong.

"When our individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for, we are in desperate need for something apart from us to live for.  All forms of dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in  essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to our lives.

-- Eric Hoffer, The True Believer (1951),
