through the eyes of a child revision page 2

through the eyes of a child revision page 2 by ric gustafson


Vinnie Deegan opened his eyes as he heard the doorbell. He had fallen asleep as he was watching the football game. " Get down Rodger Dodger" he said to the white cat who was resting on his lap. The cat jumped off and he got up and put on some worn black slippers. He walked over and opened the door a crack. " Yes".
" I saw your ad in the van section of the newspaper" replied a short pudgy man who wore glasses. " The ad was about a white van for sale".
" Oh yes". He pointed toward a closed garage. " I will come out and show it to you".
Vinnie put on his tennis shoes and his brown summer coat. He opened the door and then began to walk toward the garage. He took a key from his key ring and opened the door. It revealed a small white van with no markings. " As you can see it is not a very large van". The two of them began to walk around it and study it. " Why do you need it for?".
The man grinned as he took a wallet out of his back pocket. " I'm going to use it for a delivery service that I am going to start". He smiled at Vinnie. " I'll take the van and I would like to pay cash for it".
After the sale was finalized, the walked toward the end of the garage. The stranger grinned as he noticed something in a corner of the cluttered garage. " Are you going to use that pile of rope?".


Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
