There once was a boy who decided to leave on his own.
Embarking on his journey, he left everyone he’d known
For days and days, the boy traveled to find the nearest of towns
As fate would have it
He met a sullen man with the biggest of frowns
The boy asked this man, who seemed on a trek
For what reason he was looking like a total wreck?
The man took his time to weigh his answer
and the man finally delivered.
He said, “My boy, i have lost my horse
She left when i showed no remorse
for all the time we traveled without rest.
Oh how i regret that we take things for granted
But in the end become disenchanted
By the rights that were wrong.
So I ask you boy, if you could find it in your heart
To accompany this old man to the nearest city port?”
Happy with glee for he met his first friend
he quickly obliged and together they went.
The second day after they met,
they decided to make camp outside the city limits
They called it a day and turned off the lamp.
The boy dreamt little dreams of adventures and friends
But it obviously would have to come to an end.
The boy woke his tiresome little head
a week of journeying will do that, especially without his bed.
To his surprise the old man was gone
everything was missing, even the boy’s possessions.
Left with nothing besides the cloths on his back
To anyone else this was a major set-back
But the boy did not mind
He hoped the man had found his steed
instead of seeing that it was the man’s greed
Now stuck with little and alone once again.
The boy traveled whistling with nothing to complain.
