I think it’s time for a story. This story is a long and mysterious story, and has been passed down my family through the generations. It is known as the Pink Ping Pong Ball Story.
Once upon a time, there was a family. This family was a normal family, with a father, mother, and one small child. The father was a very rich man, as he owned a prosperous importing/exporting company in Rhode Island. His company imported matches, and exported diapers.
The mother of the child came from a very rich family, so naturally she, along with her husband, lived a very luxurious life and chose to spend their money spoiling their little child.
Their child was everything to the mother and the father, and he was treated with much love. But one day, two weeks before the child’s seventh birthday, tragedy stuck the family, and the child went missing.
The mother and father were panic-stricken, and spent a ridiculous amount of money on hiring the best private investigator in the country. But, to their dismay, the investigator, along with the state police, could not find their son. An entire week went by without a trace of the child, and then finally, one day before the child’s seventh birthday, the child showed up on the doorstep of his parents’ mansion. He was perfectly fine, without any physical injuries, wearing the exact same clothes as he was wearing the day he went missing. He was perfectly clean and fed as he always was.
When the mother and father found their son unharmed, they broke down and hugged and kissed him. The investigation was called off. The parents were so relieved to find their child safe that they completely forgot to ask him where he had disappeared to for so many days.
The next day was the child’s birthday party, and the parents, still overjoyed at the safety of their son, said this to him:
“Son, for your seventh birthday, you can have anything you want. Money is not an issue; name it and it’s yours.”
The child thought for a little, and then replied:
“I want a pink pong ball.”
This story shall be continued through all of my choice blogs.
