Thank You, Ma'am.


 
Author's Note: Something else that could've happened instead of what really did happen.

     "Now, ain't you ashamed of yourself?" she said.
     "Not at all," the boy replied. "I do what I want to and I'm proud of what I do."
     She snarled. She whacked him with her pocketbook and kept walking. He caught up to her, though, and tried to steal it again. This time, she whacked him so hard that he lost his balance and fell backwards. The wind got knocked out of him so he just lay there. The woman went home, and started to cook dinner. The boy followed her home and took a dollar. The next day, he came back, and took another dollar. After 10 days, he had just what he needed to buy those shoes that he wanted. Blue suede shoes.. That's all he could think about while walking happily to the store. Little did he know, that the woman had known. He got sent to jail, and he never stole again.
