The Foolish Boy

There once was a very foolish boy who lived in a village. One day he found that he had ran out of food. There was a super market right next to his cottage, but for some reason he wouldn’t go there. A sign of foolishness. So he decided to ask for food at his neighbours, miss Polly. “Alright. but only if you make Mr Hender return my chickens,” was her remark when he asked her. So the boy went to Mr Hender’s house and asked for miss Polly’s chickens back. “Alright,” he said in a gruff voice. “But only if you ask Mrs Lottie to lend me a pound.” so the boy went to Mrs Lottie’s house to ask her to lend Mr Hender a pound. “Only if you give me the horn of a bull to sell,” she said. Now, as everyone knows, bulls don’t just give you their horns. So when the boy went to the nearest bull and asked for it’s horn all he got was a nasty bruise on the shin. he ended up with an itchy cast on, no food and a mob of angry people outside his door.

    Yeah, I mean, is it cyberbullying or doing something bad when you ask for another persons email just for chatting? I hope not. Because if it is, I’m breaking one of your rules, right?
