One day I was lounging at home feeling bored when I heard a knock at the door. It was a timid hesitant knock. When I opened the door, I looked down to see a pair of big brown eyes staring up at me. There stood a frail little girl of about ten. She told me with all the courage and determination her little heart could muster, that she was selling cookies at only ten shillings each. How could anyone refuse such an offer? Finally with a big smile and politely, she asked me to buy. And I wanted to. Oh, how I wanted to! I wanted to buy, not because I loved cookies, but because I wanted to please this angel. Yes, I wanted to buy! Except for one thing. I didnt have ten shillings! I was embarassed! Naturally I couldnt tell this to the beautiful girl with brown eyes. So I did the next best thing. I lied to her. I told her I had already bought some at the supermarket. Now that simply wasnt true. But it was the only thing I could think of to get me off the hook. And it did. The little girl thanked me then turned around and went away. I stared at her for what seemed like a very long time, till her little figure disappeared behind the buildings. Finally, I returned into the house then closed the door behind me, then leaning my back against the door and starin at the roof, I began to cry. God I dont want to live like this anymore! Ive had it with being broke! Ive had it with telling lies! Im tired of being broke! Im tired of this embarassment!... I really cried! ... :p To be continued
