He lives alone, works alone, and plays his video games alone.
Now, he has tried to make friends but whatever he does…
-he always finds a person with a corrupt heart who uses him
-a person who is outright selfish and mean
knowing he has no other friends
-or some old friend he’s had very bad memories with
Our lonely man decides to go to a wishing
well in the park, hoping the wishes are real. He tosses
in a coin, and says amongst the air around him “Please,
can I have a friend who is pure and rare. Who will always
be the sweetest person ever. But who I have no memories
with, so I can start anew.
Nothing happens for a minute, as expected.
As all hope seems lost, the wishing well then shakes
and crumbles, and out comes a mysterious voice saying
“Wish granted. Turn around and walk 30 yards
to the fountain where you will find your wish has come true”
Hysterical, the man does so, and lo and
behold the mysterious voice was right- there was his friend!
Grateful, the now-not-so-lonely man says
“Thanks for the gold, kind, stranger!”
