The Dark Alleyway

The Dark Alleyway 

By Casey 

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max, and Max had one sibling, and his name was Jack, and there parents obviously favored Jack.  They favored Jack because Jack was always doing his chores, he was always very polite, and he never complained.  Max was the exact opposite of Jack.  He was always complaining about doing his chores, Max was never polite, and he always was begging his parents to let him play outside instead of doing his chores.  The parents of course, never said yes, so he whined and whined until he got his way.  After a year, Max started to figure out that his parents favored Jack, and when Max finally figured out that they favored Jack, he got really anger.  He didn't tell his parents about his feelings, instead, he was going to try to impress his parents so they like him more than they used to. 

The next day, the first thing that Max did was do his chores without complaining, and his parents were surprised but not as much as Max wanted them to be. So when Max was done doing his chores, he said politely to him mom "may I please go outside?" Max's mother said "yes."  Then Max walked down the village, and in one of the alleyways there was a faint glow, and Max's curiosity took the best of him so he walked down the alleyway towards the light, and he found glowing rain drops.   Max picked them up and the drops did not fall down his hand, they where stuck in place.  Then Max walked home and accidentally dropped the water drops and they fell apart and they soaked up into the ground.  Max didn't really care because he didn’t think they were magic. 

The next day, Max looked outside and saw a very big, grey cloud above their house only.  Max walked outside to take a look at it and it made a thundering noise then it started to rain above their house.  It wasn't ordinary rain, it was raining gold coins!  Max rushed everyone outside and said "Look what I did!"  Max and his family were trying to get as many gold coins as possible.  When it stopped raining, Max's parents asked Max how he did it and all he said was "magic." That coin storm made Max's family rich.  From there on out, Max's parents liked him and Jack equally and they lived happily ever after.
