A man named Casper was selfish person who only cared about himself. Casper had a fine job that earned him good money. He bought a luxurious house with fine decor. Everybody at work has known him as a nice person, but thats not his true personality. When women dated him he usually showed them the nice part of him. But then after he proposes to them with an expensive ring, he reveals his true personality. His moral is a woman should take care of their man no matter what. He always apologized to them whenever he didn’t mean to slap them because they did something wrong. The women believed this but eventually they had enough of the abuse. They left and Casper would get very furiated whenever this happened.
Casper has dated more than ten women in his lifetime. He has dated women from different states and one was from a different country who had a beautiful accent. They all left him. He was sick and tired of women degrading him. He had enough. This anger caused him to leave his job as a market executive. He blew all his money away. Most went to gambling at the Casino Resort near him. He paid his expenses on his nice house and bills. He didnt want to get a job because he thought that something good was about to happen soon. Nothing happen. He ran out of money and by this time he was just loitering in his house. A women tipped the police off about Casper loitering in the household. The cops kick Casper out of the house and now he’s homeless. A Couple of times he tried to get a job like the last one he had, but his ego got in the way of his search. Full of anger and hate, Casper would do anything to get everything back.
A Couple of months went by and it is now winter. The leaves were all on the ground, trees of all kind are dead, people with nice wool coats walking around, and Casper was still mad. One day he stumbled into an unusual shop. Casper saw a book that caught his eye.
“Whats this?” Casper said curiously. Pointing at big ragged tan book.
The man replied “They say it is a book of magic...”
“Thats absurd!” Casper interrupted.
“No it is not. They say if you write in it, it will happen. Try sir.”
Casper reluctantly wrote in the book. He thought to himself “ what harm can it do. Im already at rock bottom.” Casper wrote something simple. He wish for a nice coat for the winter. It didnt happen.
“ This is a piece of garbage!” He said furiously.
The old man who ran the shop pointed his finger at Casper.
“Just wait. Be patient”
Casper waited for a while. “Nothing is hap-” . As soon as he said that he felt a heavy wait on him. He looked down and it was a nice emerald wool coat.
“HOW MUCH!” Casper said excited.
The old man looked at him and noticed his raggedy and beat up clothes Casper wore.
“Nothing. Take it. It’s free for a man like you.”
Caper was walking out of the door with a lit up face. The man interrupted Casper as he was walking out the door with his new coat.
“Be careful. Use the book responsibility.” The man dragged out the word ”responsibility” to make sure he gets the point across to Casper.
“I sure will.” He replied in a sarcastic boy like return. And then casper ran out of the door.
A year later Casper has everything he wanted. A new and better home unlike the one before. A corporation that made millions and millions of dollars each year... and a woman that will never leave. No matter what.
