name of sci-fi short story about a boy who mistakenly receives a gift from the future (same name; wrong year)?

Question

I read this many years ago in a collection of sci-fi short stories

Answer 1

IIRC, that's a story by Ray Bradbury. The visitor from the future was a bumbling-assistant type, and the story ended with. . . never mind.

Answer 2

lady a million: Allison Jade Schubert lady 2: Cassidy (Cassie or Cass) Elaine Howe Boy: Aldan James Channer (Aldan and Channer mean 'sensible', and that i merely enjoyed James) i think of that the boy could desire to commence with lady 2, and finally end up with lady a million.

Ur question reminds me of my school and college days when we were assigned by the teachers to write short stories on different topics. Sometimes it could be written successfully and sometimes we had to seek the help of seniors, elders and teachers. These days Internet is rich source of information. Internet was not available at my time. So it was a very time consuming job to look for the relevant source for writing story. I suggest u to visit the following links. Here u will not only find short stories on different topics but u will also find tips of how to write good story and be a good story writer too if u wish to be. U shall be able to meet ur requirement if u surf these links thoroughly and consciously.

Yup, my vote is for Ray Bradbury. Read it about (egads, counting on fingers, toes, dog's toes...) nearly forty years ago. No way can I remember the title, though, sorry.
