Wilbur is going to take you on adventures through good times and hard times; introduce you to some friends and families. He will also show you what can happen in good and bad situations. Wilbur's best advice is to learn how to keep your mouth shut and walk away when trouble approaches. He will show you what life is like when you have nothing; and then again how you really have a lot but you don't realize it. The main point Wilbur would like to make to each and every one of you is, never give up hope. If you have family, be thankful and learn to love one another no matter what. If you are having trouble at home, sit down and watch the news to see just how good you really have it compared to others. If you have a family and a roof over your head, along with a hot meal, be thankful for it; because a lot of children and young people just like you don't have those things. Wilbur started out traveling and learning from day to day. Wilbur wants you to work hard in school and get a good education. When you feel you know it all, open your eyes and I'll bet that there is still a lesson or two that you missed. Technology is a good thing but you have to get an education, not only in school but at home also. You should have and do homework. Chores should be a routine thing every day, along with a weekly allowance from your parents, as long as you do what you're supposed to do. If you sit back and expect it to be given to you, no matter how rich you are, you will end up with nothing. Wilbur is trying to explain to the ones who take time out to read this book, that life has changes good and bad.
