43 The next day I brought my family to meet Zappy. I was a bit nervous because I knew it would be a big shock for them. Now they would learn my secret at last. And now that I was older I knew that it was about so much more than just the gumballs. I did not tell them about Zappy. I just wanted to show them. I simply asked my family to join me for a walk to my favorite resting spot when I was a young boy. On the way, I told them the story of how Poppi would climb the trees and I would take a nap under a nearby “gum” tree.
