Story- Down there

Title: Down there

Best to tell: on a farm

***
There once was a man and a women who lived on a farm out in the middle of no where. The woman was kind and smart and loved her husband. But her husband was bitter and rude. He constantly yelled at her and ordered her around.

One day, the man was digging a well with the help of his wife. They dug only a half a foot down and suddenly reached a dark hole. Puzzled, the man ordered the woman to go grab a flashlight and rope.

She came back and the man tied the flashlight to end of the rope and lowered it down. All he could see was dirt and was about to bring it back up when it suddenly went out.

He yanked the rope hard, but it got caught on something. He pulled again, but it seemed as if something was pulling it back. After a while of waiting, he pulled it back up to see that the flashlight was gone, and had been replaced by a white pouch and a note.

Shocked, the man opened the pouch and saw a gold nugget. Surprised, he pulled it out and ran to his truck, yelling at his wife that he was going to get more flashlights.

The woman picked up the note, but it was completely unreadable, like someone had tried to draw with a stick. Understanding the problem, the woman ran back into the house and grabbed four things:

- a bucket
- a peice of paper
- a pen
- a peice of ham

She ran back outside and tied the the bucket with all of the things in to the end of the rope and lowered it down. After a while, she pulled it back up to see it filled to the brim with jewels and a note, this time readable: "bring more meat."

She quickly ran to the house and hid the jewels in a safe place. When the man returned he had a big box filled with flashlights. He lowered each one of them down to only get broken flashlights in return.

Annoyed, he went to the house and got out his shot gun. He told his wife he was going down there to give the thing in the hole a piece of his mind. The woman begged him not to go, but as usual, he ignored her.

He tied the rope around his waist and nailed the rope to ground on the surface. He grabbed the bucket in case there was more riches down there and slowly descended down.

After what seemed like hours, the woman became to nervous and pulled it back up with all of her strength.

But when she pulled it back up, her husband wasn't in there. The bucket had been tied to end of the rope and filled with gold bars and a single note on the top.

Shakily, she grabbed the note and read it:

"Thanks for the meat."

Yes, you a get a giant gold nugget and the first thing you think is to go buy more flashlights. Well done.

(sorry this was sorta late, I have been playing a lot of UNDERTALE :3)
