There Once Was A Boy...

There once was a boy who was homeless.He had nothing but scraps. He would sleep in the tree house in the park. He had been abandoned as a small child and had to survive by eating the leftover food of picnics and parties.

Every day he would go swimming in the lake, practicing diving out of the a tree. He became really good at it and took pride in the one thing he was good at.

One day he was caught by a lady after trying to steal food from a birthday party. Fortunately the lady was really kind and, instead of taking him to the police, gave him 50$.

The boy had never seen such money before in his life and thanked the lady. He wanted to spend the money on something that he would enjoy.

He decided to spend the money on a vacation cruise. He went to try and book a room on the ship but the person told him that 50$ was not nearly enough for a proper room. He begged and said that he would stay in any room. The person said there was one room available. He took it without any hesitation.

when he got to the ship an attendant walked him to his cabin. On the first floor, the rooms were made out of diamond. The boy thought he would be staying there with much glee. The attendant said that his room was further down. They walked past a gold room, silver room, bronze room, copper room, iron room, they past the kitchen and even the pantry.

eventually they got to the boiler room, the attendant said that his room was behind the boiler through a somewhat hidden door. Nonetheless, the boy was still happy.

A little while later the captain came to the boy and said that the boy had to work on the ship in order to pay for the remaining fees. The boy told the captain the only thing he was good at was diving into water. The captain came up with a great idea. The boy would dive from a high ladder into the pool in order to entertain guests.

Later that day, the staff began to prepare the ladder. The ladder was high but the boy said that it could go higher, so they raised it. Again the boy demanded it go higher. They kept on raising it until the boy was pleased. The ladder was so high it was almost impossible to see the top.

As guests began to crowd, the boy began to climb the ladder. Eventually he got to top.

This was his moment, he looked down at the people and they looked like ants. Then he jumped...

He flew through the air at such high speeds. The crowd was amazed. He landed in the pool but didnt stop there. He went through the diamond floor, silver floor, bronze floor, copper floor, iron floor, and the rest of the floors until he went through the ship completely.

The boy resurfaced on the side of the boat and the captain helped him on board in shock. The captain was bewildered that the boy had survived and asked the boy how he had managed to stay alive.

The boy replied saying that he had gone through many hardships in his life.
