Poor Boys Blimp

extremely poor. Some how he managed to have some of the better things of life like a

treadmill and an obsolete computer from the 80’s. His life long dream was to own a $650

Lead Zeppelin remote controlled blimp. He asked his parents every year for six years if

he could have it and every time they would say no they couldn’t afford it. So on the boys

fourteenth birthday he went and applied for a job at the local Nathaniel’s. After talking to

the manager Steve and getting the job he ran home and told his parents that he started the

job tomorrow. The next day the when he got to work he looked around and noticed Steve

was gone. He asked another worker where Steve was. The worker responded he was fired

for being too stupid. The boy laughed and returned back to work. After weeks of hard

work he finally made $600 of the $650 he needed for the blimp. On his way home one

. . .
Not affected by his father’s routine yelling the boy went to his 5th story

window and read the directions and then started the blimp. Daddy, daddy he said look what I bought.

Quickly he ran home and saw his father. I just worked double time triple time at the hospital I need coffee

and sleep. So only being human he walked in to look around. The boy asked if the blimp was really $600

the owner said yes why wouldn’t it be. So the boy thanked him

and walked to the corner and his eyes lit up brighter than the radiation from the

plutonium. When he finally got back to his apartment he sat in front of the window

and watched the birds thinking to himself why couldn’t I have just waited. He started to cry when he noticed something he didn’t smell gas.

The moral of the story is if it seems to good to be true it probably is. The boy grabbed it, bought it, and left the store. He was having the time of his life until it happened. He ran

down the stairs fast to see how bad the damage was.
