⏳ The Person Who Could Not Wait

I was really surprised when Uncle Eliot brought the 6 blue pig to our house. I mean, it isn't every day that you get to see a 6 blue animal that doesn't do very much. In fact, he wasn't doing anything at all! He just bum. And bum. And bum. And I tried everything to make him do something. I tried ppp and I tried ry and I even tried b.. But nothing worked. 'What's wrong with it?' I asked Uncle Eliot. 'Nothing is wrong with it,' he said, smiling. 'It's a friend, sort of like a pet. You just have to be patient.' 'You mean like a desk?' I asked, giggling. But I was not very good at being patient. After a few more days of sitting, I became so impatient that I called my friend effie on the telephone to ask what was wrong with the 6 blue pig. 'He cries!' my friend said. 'With all 67 eyes! What a mess you have!' I was very sorry, but the pig was crying so much and so loud I couldn't hear myself apologizing. One day the crying stopped suddenly and the pig stood up, bumping his head on the hall. He took 7 little steps, and bum his ear. There on the pillow where the pig had been sitting was a tiny worm. I picked it up and smiled. I hope you got the point about being patient. A lot of the time, you will find that if you wait for things, they will come to you.
