Ken's Big Day
“It’s your money Ken, do what you want with it. Just don’t spend it all in one place!” she said jokingly, as she turned back towards the wall-mounted telephone. “As I was saying…” she drifted off. You know what, he thought, she’s right. It was his money. He was the one who found the scarecrow. He was the one who spotted the little black book stuffed in the scarecrow’s shirt. He was the one who pulled it out of the pocket, ripping the shirt open enough to see the fortune underneath! And then, when he tried to tell her about his big score, she wouldn’t even listen to him! All she did was get mad at him for doing a little exploring! He never even wanted to move here. He liked his life in the city. She was the one who thought it was so important to connect with nature. So what, he took a little stroll? God forbid he have a little fun out here on the edge of civilization.
