GARY AND THE MAGIC CUPBOARD
There lived an old man named Gary. He was very old and lonely. This is because he was never married and never had children. As such, no family. He lived in a tiny town down the hills of Oroa. And he is very poor to the point he could get food to eat one day. So he decided to pack his clothes and leave for another place where he could get a better life. So he went straight to his cupboard and started packing his things. "Is that a button? he ask himself".
Entering the cupboard to pick it up, raising his head to see himself in a jungle, full of magic trees.most of those are of buns, beans cake, spaghetti, rice cake, and many more trees. He was about to crawl up the the buns tree when he heard a voice instructing him to promise never to tell this secret to anyone or he will never eat of these trees again. So he promised. Gary fetched as much as he could and left for home.
He kept coming back each day so he never went hungry again. Day after day, Gary became more happy and healthy.
One day, Gary's friend, Pete visited him to see how he is fairing. He stayed two days at Gary's. One night they both were spending some time by the fireside when Gary got excited and spill the beans. He spelt out the secret to Pete since he already forgot the first thing that happened before he started enjoying the leverage. He almost forgot that was not a normal life or that he was once hungry to the point of losing hope.
The next morning before the cook crows, Gary decided to get more food. He went into the cupboard only to do d himself still at home. he didn't move from his house at all. He tried again and again but nothing. He sat and thought hard. He then recollected what he promised from the start. He wept and pleaded before his cupboard. His chance of a better life is gone.
