When his dog
passed
I was very
sympathetic

The dog was
great
and the boy
clearly
loved him

as
did
his
whole family

I live next door
and
told him
“You know
I would give
anything
any thing
to
have him back!”

And he quickly
replied
“Anything?”

“Yep
even my piggy bank!”

He actually
kind of
laughed
at
that
and
went on his way

Some time passed

days rolled into
a week

I had not seen
the
boy
except
his going to
and
from
his house

Head down
I
did
notice
that

Not
playing in front
as
much
since
the dog passed

He came
all the way
all the way
to my front door
which
he
had
never done
before

Came all the way
up
and
said
through
the screen door
“Sir,
sir?”

“Here I am”

I went and
opened
the
screen
door
“here I am…”

“Well
can
I have
your piggy bank?”
