The fish bone


In the summer when I was five or six, I was going by bus from Oslo in Norway to some place near Stockholm, Sweden, without my parents, with my little brother.
On this trip one of the passengers, an English-speaking tourist lost a box on the bus floor and out fell his artist tools.
With no knowledge of English I quickly helped him collect the stuff back into the box.
As a thank you, he gave me this fish bone, made in metal.

Now in 2008, it was a little rusty, and after photographing it - into the garbage bin it went.
The memory of a magic moment will stay with me.
