The Anger Of The Box

Last week we left off with: “I could not resist I had to go
push that button again But of course I had to share it with my
best friend I ran to Jim’s house and told him I was going to
push the button again!”
—————————————————————–

And now continuing:
We returned We walked slowly up the stairs I was breathing
heavy, I did not want to make the box angry again, but I really
wanted to push that button So did Jim
My finger stretched out I felt the round hard plastic button
And I pushed it
“What do you want?” the box asked
“Sir, do you want this week’s Grit newspaper?” I asked the box
“No! I told you last week that I did not want it! My sign says
no solicitors!” the box screamed
Amazing! The box had a memory!
“Sorry sir!” I replied
Of course Jim wanted to push the button also
“What do you want now?” The box asked
“Do you want me to bring you Grit next week?” I queried
At this point I did not understand why anyone would NOT want
Grit It was a very good newspaper
“Please do not return!” The box said
But we had been able to push the button again, which made our
day Jim and I ran back to his house to celebrate with some
Kool-Aid
I continued to order and sell the Grit newspaper for about 6
months I rather enjoyed selling it, but my customers were not
wanting to get every subscription, and I started to run short a
few times trying to get all of the newspapers sold My profits
became quite slim on some deliveries, so I became discouraged
and decided not to sell Grit anymore
Next I decided to sell greeting cards
