Tekki's mother and father thought that Tekki should still memorize important things like his own phone number. His Father said that when he was a boy, he had to learn lots of numbers, but Tekki said he would be OK because he took his electronic
pocket organizer with him wherever he went.

One day Tekki went outside to fly a new kite. The wind was blowing swiftly. Tekki had to put down his electronic pocket organizer and use both hands to get his kite into the air. Then the wind blew so hard that the kite string broke. Tekki had to
run down the sidewalk just to keep his kite in sight. The kite flew and flew, but as
it flew it drifted lower and lower. Tekki ran and ran, and soon the kite was low enough that Tekki could almost reach it. Just then, a gust of wind blew the kite back up toward the sky, but Tekki jumped up and caught it.

Tekki was now a very happy little boy because his kite was back in his hands, but there was now one thing that was not in his hands; his pocket organizer! Tekki looked around and saw that he was in an unfamiliar neighborhood. None of the houses looked like any that he recognized. He tried walking down one street and then another, but soon it was clear that he was completely lost.

Tekki began to cry. Fortunately a nice old lady saw him crying, and asked him if he was lost. When Tekki said that he was, the nice old lady asked him if he knew his telephone number. "I will call that number and tell your parents where you are," she said. Tekki reached for his electronic pocket organizer, and then he started to cry again. He had left it on his porch.

Just then Tekki's parents drove up in their car. They had been very worried, and had searched nearby streets until they found him, but Tekki knew that he was very lucky that they had found him so quickly. From then on, he made sure that he kept his own address and his own telephone number in his own memory where it would
never be misplaced.
