            textBox:removeSelf()
            textBox=nil
            scrollView.y = 200
            scrollView:removeSelf()
            for i=1, 200 do
            print (" DELETED ScrollView ")
            end
end

textBox = display.newText( ( rosetta:getString (whatToSay) ), 4, 0, 280 , 0, "QuadratSerial", 16)
textBox:setTextColor( 220, 220, 220, 255 )
local widget = require "widget"
scrollView = widget.newScrollView{ height=130, maskFile="TextMask.png", bgColor = {20,20,35,255} }
