<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I feel as if this question could really bring out a lot of really good stories.  Who else has more wisdom than our grandparents so I'll start off with a short version of one my grandfather told me:
Back when he was around 10 years old still living in Greece my grandfather and a friend of his really wanted to watch a soccer game that was going on a few towns away from his.  The two of them left the day before the game without any plan whatsoever and figured they would just go with the flow.  They ended up hitchhiking in the bed of some guys truck, cut open a fence to get into the stadium and got back home 2 days later without being asked a single question from their parents.
<bot>: grandfather hitchhiked a couple towns over to watch a soccer game and got back 2 days later without a question asked.
