62. of rain

the sky was gloomy but i decided to take a walk along the path..
i was enjoying the breeze
when it started to drizzle..
i ran to look for a shelter...
thinking that the rain would stop anytime,
i was too lazy to take the umbrella out of my bag..

as i ran,
the drizzles turned into big droplets of water..
and it continued to rain heavier...

that was when i decided to take my umbrella out
so that i can enjoy my walk under the rain without getting wet..
just as i opened the umbrella,
i found a big hole right at the centre of it..

what was the point of having an umbrella with a big hole when it is raining heavily?

61. of the penny



a man walked along the street and saw a penny.


he didn't pick it up thinking that it was worthless.
what could he possibly do or buy with a penny?
he saw something glittering at the end of the street.
he walked past the penny and headed towards the glittering thing.
when he reached the end of the road,
he realised that it was only pieces of broken glass.


his hopes were shattered like the broken glass.
he walked back to where the penny laid,
but it was not there anymore.
another man had walked away with the penny in his hand, smiling happily.
