Once upon a time, in a country not far from ours, there lived three men. These men were good men, and each had a loving family.
The first man was the middle son of three boys who all played and tussled with each other like boys will do. They lived in a big place called Texas with their father and mother. When the boy grew up, he decided to become a firemen and so he put out fires and rescued people when they needed help. Then one day, he met a waitress and they fell in love and got married. Six kids later, they were still in love. Life was busy for this man and his family, but they were happy.
The second man, like the first, was also part of a family with three boys. He lived on a farm in a place called New York with his brothers and their parents. Their father worked hard to take care of the farm and provide for his family. When the boy was grown, he decided to become a farmer too. He soon got married and had two little boys. He milked cows and provided for his family just like his father did before him.
The third man was the oldest son of the second man. He watched his father work on the farm, but was not to be a farmer as well. When he was grown, he decided he wanted to become a writer. He packed up everything he had in the world and went to college. There, he met the eldest daughter of the first man, a girl who wanted to be a writer as well. They soon got married and had their own little boy.
The third man’s little boy was a very lucky boy, indeed, for he knew the first man, the second man, and the third man. The first man gave the little boy a child-sized broom and and a shovel to dig in the backyard. When you’re a little boy, a broom and a shovel are the best toys in the world.
The second man showed the little boy how to garden and gave him ice cream. When you’re a little boy, gardening and eating are the best entertainment in the world.
The third man gave the little boy everything he needed and some things he wanted. When you’re a little boy, a good daddy is the best thing in the world.
You see, the third man is the little boy’s father, the second man is his father’s father, and the first man is his mother’s father. They all loved him very much and he loved being with them more than anything else. He really was the luckiest boy in the whole world.
The End.
