The lesson of a thief!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)



Once their lived a man! He had one son, and he finally was watching his dreams come true! His hard work was paying dividends! He also had a hobby, making gorgeous gifts! All day he'd spend rather, in his plants or writing a new way to see someone's face lite! Christmastime was cold yet, warm! Always with a hug he greeted friends, and loved ones! Then one day, he thought of his crush! As soon, as she saw him her face just life up! How are you smiley? She asked, with all joy! Better now, that you here! "He replied, with all love, !" Later, that, same day, a stranger walked into that, heaven sent place! With a sigh and a shrug, a man glanced strait her way! The coffee was warning and he smiled not once! He walked straight over and poured him a cup! Then as if irritated he stormed out! No words came through! The cashier looked over at smiley then said," see your still smiling, " ! "That's why all I'm ever need is that handsome, smile, just from you," ! They hugged and then pecked! Look around as if no longer stressed and with joy in their eyes they went on towards life quests!
