The Moral of the Story

I once knew a whistling man and whistle is all he would do. This very true story I would like to share with you. Ted whistled in the morning when he woke up and he whistled on his way to work, in his old truck. He whistled at lunch and again at break. Then when the day was over, whistled to the gate. Ted whistled each and everyday and it got to the point where his co-workers, his whistling they did hate. One day a co-worker approached Ted and asked; Why do you constantly whistle, don't you know it almost drives me mad? Well, Ted said. Whistling is my reliever, my stress remedy for as long as I whistle my friend, dark days do not follow me. The co-worker smiled at Ted and thanked him so and told Ted. You have helped me find a better path to go. The story I have told is so very true and if you hear a whistler very near to you; I hope the moral of this story will be of help to you.

The moral is to be sweet and understand we all deal with stress differently.
