On day Phooey was watching TV and he heard a story about a missing man. the reporter said the man had alzheimer’s and he took the family car. because of that they need to find him as soon as possible. Then the

reported told where the man came from and which direction he was going when last seen. Phooey though for a minute and said to himself he is heading for this area.

Phooey went in the kitchen and found his mother and said “Mom what is alls-i-mores”

His Mom said “what!”

Phooey said “They just said there was a missing man and he had alls-i-mores.”

His Mom laughed and said ” you must mean alzheimer’s.”

Phooey said “yes that’s it, what is it.”

His Mom said “It is a very bad disease it takes away a persons memory. First the person gets forgetful, Then he starts forgetting friends and sometimes he forgets where he is. Then he forgets his family and even his wife. He gets where he can’t remember a thing. Then people end up dying from it. It is especially hard on the ones doing the caring because the person with alzheimer’s has to be watched all the time because they might do harm to

themselves or others around them.”

Phooey said “wow! that is bad. I hope they find the man soon.”

His mom said “how long as the man been gone.”

Phooey said “The reporter said he has been gone 2 days.”

His Mom said “yes he probably needs help pretty bad right now.”

Phooey said “The reported said he was last seen going in this direction. I think I will go out and look around.”

His Mom said “Go ahead but don’t stay out too long dinner is almost ready”

So Phooey started walking up and down some of the streets near his house. He decided he had better head for home. He didn’t want his Mom mad at him. He decided to check one more street on the way back. He looked down

the street and saw a car that was parked very badly, so he walked down to check it out. When he got there he thought to himself this looks like the car they showed on TV. The car looks like it ran over a boulder and got stuck on it. Phooey called the police and told them he thought he found the car of the missing man on TV. The
