The Robber and Me
by Josef Holub Author
When Boniface Schroll, as shy orphan, is left all alone in a cold, dark forest, a big man in a black hat rescues him. The next day Boniface awakens in his uncle Emil's house. Boniface, who wants a place to call home, likes the people in his uncle's small farming village. But when he hears about the many robberies committed by a man wearing a big black hat, Boniface wonders if he should risk telling his uncle what he know about the mysterious stranger.
