Jack's Lucky Day

“But mommy, I don’t want to go outside! Why can’t I have this in here with you and everyone else? I promise not to be bad anymore! Please mommy, please!” “No! You do as I say or punishment will be served more than once! Now, be off!” So, the little boy went on his way and found a nice quiet area near the outside corner of his house. Snatching that pie from the window sill proved to be quite fruitful for him as he had mistakenly shoved his thumb right into the pie, but had pulled it out only to see that he had an entire plum and a whole pie for himself. What a lucky boy!
