Bullying got a hole in it trampled It's Ok you have so many other things to play with we just moved on Brother I need to fix the things will help you and so they spent the rest of the day fixing to ois the next day the creatures gathered for a fun day of swimming we're missing somebody yeah Bill said he had to fix some other things I thought we fixed the things we broke we did but the more things you won't the more things you have that will break we should go by his place and help him that's a very good idea told me friends should always help friends they quickly made their way over to Bill's house where is his house under layers of somewhere What's that noise I think it's coming from under this toy car Methuselah move the toy car Hi Bill I feel like I guy a bill can you fix that later I could and I can fix the lamp later in the walkie talkie and the plastic golf clubs in the weed whacker great let's go play you're missing my point I can't go play I have all this stuff that needs fixing boy that's no fun but of course it's no fun one of they make things the way they used to they used to make things with rocks and sticks and not that far back with mud and bricks a little more rationed a time when metal was popular Industrial Age bill even though you have all this stuff you don't seem very happy right now I was a lot happier when I didn't have things them bats why our parents don't get as everything we want saw we don't have to fix them just that because stuff will make us happy it just makes you want more things it'll never satisfy you I was having a lot more fun when we were playing Marco Polo in the water and we didn't have anything to break you can't break water can you you know what I'm going to do I'm going to return all of this I think that's a great idea and so Bill returned everything to the stores everything that. Didn't break that is then he had a garage sale for the rest I'll take the broken lamp the broken basketball hoop the broken phone the broken play kitchen and the broken bat for 4 dollars 5 dollars 350 you're not supposed to go down you're supposed to negotiate out 325 No no let me explain I k. 5 you say for i k 47 a 5 u.k. For 5320 fine for a dollar 315 and throw in the rubber boots it was a tough lesson for our good friend Bill the doc and a costly one but Bill never forgot that things are important and will never make you happy what about donuts long down let's make you happy only for a moment lasting happiness is only found in knowing God as it says in Ecclesiastes 226 to the man who pleases Him God gives wisdom knowledge and happiness.
