Little Boy’s Job Appraisal



A little boy went to drug store and climbed onto carton so that he can reach phone. Then he dialed a number and started talking.


Boy: Mam, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?


Lady (At other end of call): Sorry, but I already have someone to do that job.


Boy: Mam, I will do it for half the price you pay to the person working there.


Lady: No, I am satisfied with the work of the person who is presently cutting my lawn.


Boy: Mam, Please Give me a job. I will even sweep your sidewalks. You will have the prettiest lawn in Palm beach.


Lady: No, thank You.


With a smile on face, Boy replaced the receiver. The drug store owner, who was listening to all this, came to the boy and said, “Son, I liked your attitude and positive spirit and would like to offer a job to you.


Boy replied, “No sir, thank you.”


Store owner (confused) Said, “But you were pleading for a job on the call.”


Boy replied (smiling) to him, “No sir, I don’t really need a job. I was just checking on my performance at the Job i already have. Actually, I am the only one who is working for the Lady i was talking to.”


Moral: We should try to find our weakness and Work hard to overcome it. We should always work hard and with full dedication.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

  Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported.  Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Tsali: North Carolina Cherokee Ghost Story

  The year was 1838. As the first rays of early morning light crept through the dark and misty mountain valley, Tsali gazed out of his tiny cave with a heavy heart. As a young boy, he spent days running though the thick woods and scampering up the steep, rocky hillsides that surrounded his Cherokee village in western North Carolina. The mountains were his place of escape — a place where he could dream, and be alone with his thoughts. But now, as an ailing, 60-year-old man, Tsali was hiding in these hills for a very different reason. The white man had taken away the land that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. And they would not stop until even these majestic, sacred hills were theirs. Tsali looked out and saw his fellow villagers, who were also hiding in the tiny crevices that dotted the wooded hillside. Many were shivering in the early morning chill. In their haste to leave, they had had no time to pack their belongings. Some managed to smile back at Tsali, their teeth chat...

The Grey House: Georgia Haunted House Story

  Young boys make the mistake of chasing an errant football into he depths of a Georgia haunted house. Written by Kenneth Gary. PRELUDE “I know that the old woman in that huge, crumbling, grey house is hiding a secret, a dead body, something. I just know it!” – words of an anonymous woman in the neighborhood. One cannot, with the unburdened mind of youth, gaze upon stars, or the imaginative clouds of the sky, without being set upon by waves of wonder… – sentiments of an anonymous child, same neighborhood. Once upon a time… When I was a young boy we played any number of sports and games outside in all areas of our Georgia neighborhood. The entire area was our domain: With one unacknowledged exception. It was not something that we talked about openly, unless it was Halloween, but, there was one very large, decayed, grey house at the end of our ‘territory’ that, collectively, we instinctively avoided. We had in the past, experienced the terror of attempting to retrieve an errant baseb...
