544 - The mistake of the intern.

On his first day as a intern, he made a mistake, a terrible mistake, which could had been solved by his superior in a few seconds if he had told them then; but since it was his first day, and being afraid of getting yelled or fired, he decided to keep it a secret and not tell anyone about it, thinking that with time and practice he would fix that mistake by his own.

Time passed by  and the intern learned a lot of new things in his new job, and eventually he learned how to fix the mistake he had made on his first day; but when his internship were over, his superiors called him to tell him that his work on the company had been exceptional and that if it wasn't for the mistake he had made, they would hire him blindfolded; but due to that mistake they'd have to fire him.

The intern, trying to keep the job, apologized a thousand times for having made that mistake and tried to excuse himself pledging that he had fixed it; nevertheless, when his superiors heard what he had said, they told him that they always knew of the mistake that he had made on his first day, but that wasn't really the mistake why they were firing him for; but for the mistake of keeping it a secret and never looked out for help when he needed it.

The end.

541 - Peter's reward.

At first hour in the morning, when Peter's mom came into the kitchen to make breakfast, she screamed loudly because in the rat-trap was the villain who had been stealing their food, and soon everyone in the house went to the kitchen to see why she had screamed.

"What happened, darling?" asked Peter's dad.
"Look! There's a rat in the rat-trap" answered Peter's mom.
"Kill the rat, dad, kill it!" screamed Peter's sister, scared and disgusted by the little creature.
"Give me a second, darling, let me get my hammer."
"NO! No, dad, don't kill it" screamed Peter and started to cry "That little rat is just an animal, it didn't know what it was doing, please dad, don't kill it, it hasn't done anything wrong to us."
"Okay, Peter, I won't kill it"
"But dad! It is a disgusting animal!" argued Peter's sister.
"No dad! Don't kill it!"
"Okay, this is what we are going to do, I'll take the little rat to the park and I'll set it free there, so it won't bother us anymore and I won't have to kill it, do you agree children?"
"YEAH, DAD! THANKS!" screamed Peter.
"Alright, but the next time there's a rat in the rat-trap, you kill it, dad!" said Peter's Sister not very happy with the agreement.

************

That night, during dinner, Peter lost his sixth milk tooth, and very excited he put it under his pillow when he went to bed so the Tooth Mouse would change it for a dollar; but for Peter surprise,  when he woke up the next morning, instead of finding one dollar bill under his pillow, he found two.

539 - Brainstorm.

After drinking his cup of warm milk, getting cozy between his sheets and having blow his candle to finally go to sleep; a thunder lighted the room and the storm broke.

He stayed on his bed, enjoying the sounds and lights the storm made, while he tried to sleep, he started to get the best ideas ever; but since he was so tired and his bed was so cozy he didn't get up to write them down because he thought he would remember them the following day.

The next day, when the sun came out, there wasn't any trace left from the storm of last night, and when he woke up, all his ideas, just like the storm, had gone away with it.

531 - A really boring exciting movie.

The other day I was watching a really, really boring movie about animals, and out of the sudden a dragon came out of the screen and started fighting against a gigantic dinosaur, and between fangs and claws I saw how the dinosaur kicked the dragon's ass and when he was about to behead it and eat it alive...

The alarm clock rang, and in a hurry I made the report I was due to do about the movie I had seen, which, needless to say,  I failed, because according to my professor, dragons don't exist and dinosaurs are already extincted.

529 - Ghosts aren't real.

He went upstairs, to the attic, to see what was causing so much noise, and when he stepped inside, he noticed that the lights were flickering, and that all the toys that were stored there were turned on and flying across the room, he saw the rocking chair which was on the middle of the attic rocking itself and that no one was singing that awful lullaby.

Seeing all this, he ran out of the attic, scared, and locking the door behind him, he said to himself "it must have been the wind, yes, it must have been a wind stream" even though he knew that there wasn't any windows in the attic.

In front of the door of the mad scientist's lab was a warming which read in bold red letters "NO KIDS ALLOWED" which tons of disobedient kids ignored, and when they stepped inside the lab, a shrinking ray shoot them and shrunk them to the size of a rat. This the mad scientist loved, because he then would have the chance to hunt them and catch them in jars which he put on a shell where he collected them.

When I was young, my parents and teachers used to tell me that life was a gift from God, that it was priceless, invaluable; but now that I've grown up, I realized how wrong they were, because it looks like that my life is only worth a couple of thousand of dollars, which is what they payed to the killer I have after my head.
