Light Blub and the Candle

Candle: "You think your so bright."

Light Blub: "I'm supposed to be that way."
    but at least I don't go out, everytime
a breeze blows in."

Candle: " Hey I been here longer
  than you."

Light Blub: "Edison invented me, who
  invented you."?

Candle: "Don't really know for sure,
   but I have been around longer."

Light blub: "You already said that."

Candle: "I get so mad, everytime
someone says, they have an idea,
they compare it to a light blub."

Light blub: "Who else."

Candle: "When the power goes out,
we're the first things people reach
for."

Edison: "Listen here you two, you
both serve a purpose and are needed
very much, don't you see."

Light blub: "He's right, I'm
   sorry candle"
  Candle: "Your forgiven, light blub,
so am I."
