STORY TIME!

Once upon a time, there was a man named Davis.
Davis was married and was the father of two children.
Davis had a dream of being successful and rich rather than a PROLETARIAN. He wanted to be able to give his family anything that they could ever want from the world.
So Davis worked
and worked
and worked some more.

However, no matter how much Davis worked, his family always seemed to still be in debt.
Davis was worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat.
In fear that his family would go hungry, Davis stole a loaf of bread.

Davis was caught and arrested. He was sent to prison and his crime was written into his DOSSIER .

Davis was very sad to say goodbye to his family and he knew that he should not have been arrested, and so the man planned his escape, ready to return to his home.

His first step to liberation was to somehow become invisible to the CORDON that surrounded the prison. The line of guards would make escape difficult.

However, Davis was extremely clever. He created an escape plan very carefully to his way out of prison using only a spoon.

Once he tunneled out of the prison, Davis found himself standing in a peaceful STEPPE, finally able to experience the freedom he longed for.

By the time that Davis arrived home, he was dirty and HAGGARD from his long journey.
But his family did not mind his appearance and ran up to see their beloved husband and father. Not caring at all for money or things, because their family being together was all that they could ever want in the world.

The End!
