OK...we were given an essay to write based on a twig. this is my story:
I was walking in the school field when i heard someone calling my name. i turned to find my best friend Nate running towards me. i studied him as he approached me and he sure did not look like a blind person to me. 'Sephy,' he said. ' why were you so depressed in school today? you were unusually quiet but of course that was very much appreciated!' the nerve of him! i glared at him and then realized that it was wasted as he could not see me.
'well, my parents will not buy me the latest iPOD! i begged and begged but they would not listen. i told my father this was a matter between life and death but he just asked me to pass the salt!' i ranted out without even thinking about what i was saying.
oh.oh. bad mistake! james started yelling at me,"Sephy! you shoud start realizing that the world does not revolve around you only!"
i was confused for a minute. then i said,"james? what's the problem?do u want an iPOD as well?"
James said," Sephy! i have something to show u! close ur eyes."
"what?no way!"i said.
"sephy, please?"
"fine. but only for a minute."
i closed my eyes and then James slid something into my hands. it was the most beautiful thing i had ever touched! it was smooth but had little richety bumps on it. whatever it was, i wanted one. maybe it was a new gadget or something.
james asked,"what do u think it is?"
i shrugged. he then proceeded to ask me to open my eyes and..........OMG! IT WAS A MERE TWIG!
but it had felt so exotic and awesome in my hand. i looked at james with pity and said,"u go through ur whole life thinking every stupid thing like a twig is exotic and beautiful when in fact it's worthless."
james countered,"on the contrary, ur the one who is losing out. i manage to live my life appreciating god's creation but you and every other person in this planet don't even notice it!"
he then walked away leaving me to ponder about his words.....
-THE END-
