Merry Christmas Friends, and Good Will to All
Stubb, Good Will, sounds like a long-lost uncle that no-one misses.
“TT, Good Will is being a friend to your family and people you meet. It’s helping in a little way or a big way. It doesn’t matter, and it makes you feel good.”
I don’t need Good Will I feel just fine. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s a crowd near the corner, and I squish plop over to get a better look. “TT, a woman is holding up a sign with her two kids close by. Her sign reads; No Job, No Rent, No Food, Help Us!
It’s a scam. I bet her house is full of food and toys. Someone should take her sign and send her on her way. It’s a trick just to get more money, and I’m sure she could get a job. I bet she’s lazy.
“How can you be so mean? You’re a Talking Tummy with no worries. You’re always warm and have gobblers and munchies and you’re taken care of. Shame on you!!”
Here comes a police car. Good! They’ll get her out of here and send those lazy kids to school. Whoops . . . there is no school. Well, somewhere!!
Here comes our friend, Officer Knight. He’s carrying an envelope. I’ll move closer. I wonder what’s going to happen.
“Helen, I’ve collected some donations from other officers and people in the neighborhood. This money should help with food and rent. Our community doesn’t want anyone living on the street. Especially a mom with kids.
“I feel desperate with Christmas coming. I don’t know what to do. Officer Knight, thank you so much for your help!”
“Listen up TT! Officer Knight has Good Will. You were wrong about Helen and her kids. She lost her job. It wasn’t her fault!”
Sorry Stubb, I made a mistake. The MEANS took over again. Don’t give up on me I’ll change in the new year. I promise I’ll really try.
“Well, I’ve heard that apology before but there’s always HOPE.”
Officer Knight spots us. “Stubb, Merry Christmas and here’s a few treats. “He hands me four large crispy, brown, munchy dog biscuits.
TT giggles as we quickly do a biscuit gobbler.
Friends, have a delightful Christmas and Good Will to all of you.
Stubb and TT
