Truth be Told

 

You’d think there’d be one

 

Out of the thousands of books at the library, I have yet to find one happy story.  Just a simple happy tale that doesn’t involve murder, revenge, greed or some manipulating, ladder climbing, shoe wearing, greasy haired moron, doing whatever it takes to get ahead. 

Even in the children’s section, I discover Jack and Jill having to trudge uphill to simply fetch a pale of water.  Who in their right mind keeps their water at the top of the hill?  And if that isn’t bad enough, clumsy Jack falls down, spills everything, gets fired and ends up living back at Mom’s, who – if truth be told, never was that crazy about Jill.
