The Boy Who Likes Stories

 

          In a certain town there is a boy name Boris. Boris likes stories. There has never gone a day in Boris’s life where he doesn’t read or heard stories. He even walks to different places in order to find new stories. There are even places that he often visits to find new people to tell him stories. These places are the park, the diner, and the bridge.

          Today, Boris walks around town like he always does every day. He keep walking until he finds a man sitting on a bench facing the road. The man look like he has something on his mind. So, Boris sits beside him.

 “Is there something on your mind sir?” Boris asks the man with concern.

“Oh, didn’t see you there little buddy.” Says the man surprise by Boris’s sudden question. “No, I don’t have anything on my mind.” Says the man denying Boris’s question.

“But you look like you have something on your mind, how about you tell me about it? It might help you with whatever you have on your mind.” Says Boris with confident.

“Alright, I’ll tell you but it isn’t really anything interesting.” Says the man giving in. “I was thinking about telling my crush that I like her and ask her if she want to be my girlfriend.” Says the man. “Sound stupid doesn’t it. An old man like me trying to confess like I’m a high school boy.” Says the man laughing at himself as he feels stupid to even consider that he has a chance with her.

“No, it doesn’t. Heck, it sounds like you have a target and a desire to fulfil. So I think you should go with it and regret it later. You know what they say ‘high risk, high reward’.” Says Boris with a smile on his face.

“Are you sure?” Says the man doubting Boris.

“Yeah, I’m sure.” Says Boris trying to convince the man.

“Maybe I will, thank you boy for giving me confidence.” Says the man as he runs to the park.

“You’re welcome~, tell me how it goes when we meet again someday.” Says Boris while waving his hand.

“I will.” Says the man waving back at Boris.

Then, Boris return back home feeling satisfied that he got a new story while also helping other people with their problem and another day ended for Boris as he goes to bed and looking forward for tomorrow.
