“Your real father died two years ago. I hadn’t told you this story because I thought you weren’t ready and now it’s too late.” She replied sadly. Theo got upset.

There was a complete silence for a moment but after a few minutes Theo pulled himself together and whispered, "How did my father die? Was he sick?" "No, he was not sick. Actually, he was a very strong and full of energy man. He died in a great fire after he tried to rescue a little boy from the burning house. The boy’s name is John and he lives in London by now. Before your father died he asked me to tell you about John because he was like a son to him. He was hoping two of you would meet one day."
