A Simple Story (author unknown)

Chapter One

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost…I am helpless.

It isn’t my fault.

But it takes forever to find my way out

Chapter Two

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend that I don’t see it.

I fall in, again.

I can’t believe I am in this same place.

It isn’t my fault.

But it still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I fall in…it is a habit…but now my eyes are wide open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

Chapter Four

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

Chapter Five

I walk down a different street.
