The Story I Told My Son In Bedtime 3 : Apple
There is an island having a lot of apples
A boy live there
Oneday, all of these apples lost
The boy is finding them
He looked around all over the island
He didn't see them
So,He went to the sea
And when he reached somewhere of the sea,
He found the apples jumping above the sea
Some are bright at night
He never come back his island
He live forever in the sea.

pure selfless life

let your aim be

as it struts away
tail up, exposing a cool distain
as arrogantly possessive as any ‘fork you’ flag....
