My father was very proud of the ‘Green Toy Car’ which his grandfather gave him when he was young.
Every time we sat round the table for lunch he would find a way to repeat the story about his soldier grandfather who fought bravely during the First World War and how the ‘Green Toy Car’ was miraculously found in his bag when he returned safely home.
Despite the thousand times his family asked him where he found the Car he refused to say!
Being obsessed with mysteries I decided to dig into the past in case I could shed some light to this strange story.
I went through all the photos and the letters my great grandfather sent to his family.
In one of the letters he wrote the following: “the day was beautiful today. I felt the beauty of the wind and the smell of the spring. I wish all my days were as Green as today.”
I am sure that behind those words, is the story I am searching for…
Well, sitting by my window and holding the Green Grandpa’s Car I feel that something very important is missing from my life: the truth behind the mystery car.
A secret well hidden in the grave!

If anyone knows please leave me a note…
