Jonay Thirston 3rd pd.

Their once lived a young man who had everything he ever wanted. His parents were very wealthy. Anything he asked for he received. The young man was very greedy and selfish though, especially towards his friends and family. His selfishness was to the point that his family didn't speak to him any more and all of his friends befriended him. he didn't care as long as he had all the material things he wanted. Even all the things he received weren't enough for him, he always wanted for more. So much more that he didn't even have use for most of the things he had. When he grew older he felt since he had gotten all he wanted when he was younger that at an older age he would still get token care of. "My parents will take care of me for the rest of my life" those were his words. His parents did that very thing. Then one day their was a huge storm God washed away everything they owned. The money and all the material things they had were gone just like that. The parents were so broke they had to move into a shelter but the son refused. The son refused to move into a shelter he felt he was to good. He said he would go live with a family member or one of his friends. What he had forgotten was that he had ran everyone away with his selfishness and greediness. When he approached them everyone turned him away because of the he had treated them. The son had no where else to go accept to a shelter with his parents. Still he refused because his ego was too huge. Right now to this day the son is living on the streets, sleeping from park bench to park bench with no where to go. No he wonders if maybe he was a little more sharing he would have a place to stay.
