Once upon a time, there was a guy, who was lucky. Whatever he was trying to do, he would always succeed. But despite the fact, he was quite modest. His name was George, George Wesley. The PECULIAR thing about him also was that he believed in miracles, but the society, the people who surrounded him, they were just MOCKING at it, coz it didn’t make sense at all. Wesley was trying to be independent on the society, knowing that If he listened to them, he would just exist, not live, being dictated what he had to do and what not. One day, something bad happened to George. He lost somebody who was very important to him, his grandpa. Someone said to him that day - “So, your grandfather KICKED THE BUCKET, probably you will believe that he will RESURRECT, why not, huh? “. The young guy being so desperate just BLEW HIS CORK and replied : “shut up! stop TEASING me, it’s better for you not TO OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS.” But inside, he was absorbed in thinking why people were treating him like that? I guess it was nothing but envy.
