Synopsis
Bob used to be a loner, keeping to himself and thinking "my own thoughts"--until he meets Joe, a "sincere and real" young man who befriends Bob, and several other local boys, and together they form a group of happy young teens. Joe eventually wins a trip to the state capital by turning in the winning essay on Junior Citizenship in a contest, and Bob and the other boys learn of the rewards of friendship--which are, apparently, that all the hard work you put in on a project results in someone else getting a trip to the state capitol.

Rather fun "read between the lines" short about Joe, and Bob, and their affection for each other. Yes, friendship is one thing, but you just can't help think what the film isn't showing us. Bob and his friends go down to the train station to meet Joe, and while they're waiting, Bob has a SERIOUS case of talking-to-himself-itis and just won't shut up about how wonderful Joe is. Soon the train arrives, and everyone is just screaming. LOL. This was great, and it's a MUST SEE on this site!
