"Titrr, titrr, saw-ci, saw-ci," goes the pencil on the paper as the girl in front of the library draws. A man comes up to her and taps her on the shoulder. She turns and grins.
"Uncle Troy!" she greets him.
"How's my little devil?" he asks. It had been a long day for the both of them and they walked home down the street.
"Vivi, I want you to be generous, gracious and kind," he said. She nods and they continue walking until a beggar on the street stops them.
"Spare change?" asked the beggar.
"No cretin, leave me alone, I have no change," said Troy.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, you said you ought to be gracious and well, he has nothing," she said.
"Okay, okay, here's a twenty. Now let's go get some supper, whaddaya want?" he asked.
"Sandwiches," she said. So he bought both of them sandwiches and they went to the park where there was a scrawny dog and pigeons.
"Rats with wings and some scraggy mutt wants my food," he complained.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, you say you ought to be gracious," she said. He rolled his eyes and gave the animals half of his sandwich. Then they continued on his walk. He kicked a man into the street. At the same time a woman was coming towards him.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, you said you ought to be-" said Vivi, right before he shot her. The woman started to run towards him and opened her mouth to say something when he shot her too. The woman turned out to be his sister. The hospital came and Vivi had a concussion and her mother had her leg bandaged. Troy was sent to prison on assult charges.
So remember, be gracious, be generous, be kind but don't annoy people while doing it.
