The Fall of the Daisies
Once upon a time there was a man who lived in China. One day, he decided to write a new story. He decided that the story should be somewhere unheard of, someplace new. Before he could figure out the title, there was a knock at the door. So, he got up and went throught the kitchen to answer the door. In the kitchen, his wife was making breakfast, which consisted of eggs, his favorite. When he finally reached the door, there were three girl scouts standing in the doorway. Instead of having the usual delicious cookies, they had flowers. The man asked the young girls, "Where did you get these flowers?" "Since fall is right around the corner, my friends and I decided to pick them before they started to die. They were over by the Cedar that's in the park." said one of the young girls. "Do you wish to buy some?" "Sure, how much?" "Ohh, just 3 dollars mister." And with that the three girl scouts were off. After they were out of view, the man closed the door. He went back through the kitchen ,and sat down with the flowers. He finally thought of the perfect title for his little story. The Fall of Daisies. Then he went to eat breakfast with his wife and decided to give her the flowers. But, she wouldn't take them for some reason. "What's wrong? You don't like them?" said the man. "Hunny, I'm allergic to Daisies." And so the flowers were thrown into the trash without an afterthought.
