Patrick Returns

I call it....Patrick Gets Cold

One day our friend Patrick went for a walk in the park. It was nippy out, so he put on a sweater. He got down to the park and smelled the fresh air. It was very nice.

"Look at all the trees!" he exclaimed. "Im going to count them". And he did. 1 tree....2 tree....3 tree...4 tree. The last tree looked a little funny. It was practically bare except for one origami flower some gentle sould had put on the topmost branch.

As he looked and admired, he felt something catch his sweater. Patrick, with his short attention span, immediately found a shiny nickel and was divirted from the thread from his sweater, quickly unraveling the whole thing.

After becoming five cents richer, Patrick realized that he was much, much colder. His sweater had come undone!

"Oh NO!" cried Patrick, "My girlfriend made that for me!". Patrick continued his walk, although his favorite sweater was now a loose ball of yarn. He carried it with him, maybe his girlfriend would make it into a new sweater. But Patrick was cold now, he could not wait for a new sweatshirt. He came to the decision that he must borrow somebody elses. He would probably lend a sweatshirt to a poor soul, why would anybody else do different?

He spotted a pretty girl with nice dark hair. She had on a black sweater with a cartoon character on it. It was very nice. She looked kind of sad. Patrick walked up to her and asked her what was wrong.

"Oh nothing" she said. Patrick didn't really believe her, but it was cold and he needed her sweater.

"Look, i'll level with you. Its cold out and i need a sweater. Would you mind terribly if i borrowed yours?"

She looked at him funny. Did he really ask her that? He didnt even look like he could fit it because he was so small. Why would she give her sweater to him when there were obviously guys who would fill it up the whole way and not waste valuable space.

"mmmm...Actually, it IS rather chilly out, would you mind terribly if i keep it?"

"No...not at all. Thank you for your time." Patrick walked away. He was sad but didn't really mind. Mind over matter, he thought. And besides, there was another pretty girl right across the road, he might go and ask her...


That all you get for now. Maybe later i'll finish it.
