And one day 3 red headed children come by and they stay under the bridge with the hobo until their mom comes back but the hobo doesn't like the homeless children nor their mother and he says leave this is my bridge and their mom says no it's not the bridge doesn't belong to anyone and he says "this woman has pride and pride and life under the bridge don't mix". Then when their mom went to work he gave them some of his food and when their mom came back she said " don't take his food we are not beggars I have a descent job at the laundry mat. And they said to the hobo "why are you letting us stay under you bridge" and he said " because I am a soft hearted tramp and then they asked why he let them eat his food and he said because he is a stupid soft-hearted tramp. Then he let them go with him to Halles one day and they sang for money and they used it for pancakes.
Then one day 2 women came by and said they would put the children in a home and their mom in jail. So the hobo took them to his friend said they could stay with them she was a gypsy and Suzy met Tinka and taught her letters and Paul played with the boys. The ending was really sweet.

Summary: A Cheerful and Heartwarming Story
Review: The Family Under the Bridge is about an old crabby hobo named Armand who had nothing but the raged clothes on his back and a little baby buggy with his belongings. He lived in crowded corners and alleys and then in the winter he would live under a bridge. One winter, he was surprised to find three children living under his bridge, and to make matters worse, Armand absolutely hated children. He decided to find another bridge since there were many bridges in Paris, but the children begged him to stay. He softened his heart and decided to stay with the three children and their mother. Armand took the children along with him while he traveled around the streets. It was not long before Armand realized he had gotten himself a family- one he loved with all his heart. They stayed together and Armand soon found a job and got a house for the five of them to live in.

I enjoyed The Family Under the Bridge but it wasn't one of my all-time favorites. It was fairly entertaining. Many parts of the book were exciting and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next, but there were also some slow parts. Overall I thought it was a pretty good book.
