Let me read it to you!
I once went wandering through the woods and
I came upon a wizened little man slumped on a wooden stump beneath a leaning tree. Time had not been
kind to him. His troubled soul had taken its toll and draped a sorrowful shroud
of loneliness over his sagging shoulders. As I ambled towards him he looked me
in the eye as if he was seeking solace and succor. I sensed his pain and knew my
charge was to soothe his sadness. I reached into my pocket then flung into the
air a shower of shimmering silver stars. As they settled all around him he smiled
and as he did, the sun cast off its cloak of cloud. All around him, golden
shards of light frolicked and danced to a merry tune which came from a place I
know not where somewhere beyond the trees. Then, he was gone. Never will I know
what troubled him, but my task was done. I love being a angel!
Being an angel would give great job satisfaction wouldn't it? Great tale and accompanying picture.
