Success…
What do you think of success? Wealth? Fame? There are many meanings of success.
Here’s a story of a boy that earned success in a unique way.
“Billy!!!
Wake up! Come down here this instant!” Mom shouted in anger. “I’m coming!” Billy
answered “What is this mess!? Didn’t I told you to wash the dishes?” questioned
Mom. Billy’s life is full of problems. He has a big brother that likes to bully
him, a Mom who keeps telling him what to do and a Dad that always blaming him
for everything. Billy was adopted when he was a baby and that’s why he is in
this terrible family.
He and his
big brother go to the same school in Smelting’s Elementary. Billy is in 3rd
grade and his brother is in 6th grade. Everyday Billy is greeted
with a bullying by his brother and his gang. “I hope my brother doesn’t go to
Smelting’s Secondary (Which is just across the street from Smelting’s
Elementary) next year.” Billy thought as he wash the dishes.
Unexpectedly
a horrible thought came up in his mind. He remembered that tomorrow was his
birthday. Last year his Mom got him a scratchy, itchy and old sweater. And even
worse is that Mom made him wear it to school. It was Horrible!!! That night
Billy made a wish so that his life would improve.
In the
morning, he was waked by the delicious smell of homemade cupcakes. “Mom never
makes cupcakes.” Billy thought. He got up from his bed and follows the scent
downstairs. He saw nobody downstairs and wondered where everybody go.
“Surprise!!!” His parents shouted. Billy was
shocked and happy. They celebrated Billy’s birthday. “What an odd day!”
Billy thought. That day Billy was not bullied in school. His exams went well
and nothing went wrong. He thought again “Why this day was so wonderful?” Then
he remembered about his wish last night.
As the
days passed his life grew better and better and his family became very nice. That’s
the story of Billy the boy who got his family to be nice. Once again, success
is very unique and very unexpected.
