Advertisement

There was once an orphan. He whose name is unimportant. He was a skinny boy but a cunning one, for what he lacked in muscle he made up for with his wits. However, when one looked as wimpy as he did, it was inevitable that one would be bullied in school.

It did not take long to find an answer, he was not unfortunate. He had a good head on his skinny shoulders, why not put it to use. So, he started to scheme. With his non-existent morals, he quickly came up with a simple yet effective plan. Eliminate the tormentors.

With this, the bullies disappeared one by one. One slipped on a piece of plastic that so happened to be covered in oil while walking down the stairs.
