There once was a young african american boy; his name was George. George grew up all his life stealing. Whenever his parents refused to get what he wanted he figure might as well take it. He started off going to stores stealing little things like candy, then went to stealing small toys whenever they went to store. George's mother would work long hours of the day, while often his stepfather would stay home either hustling or disciplining the kids. It was hard for George’s mother to provide for her family with just one low paying job. So often she would say no to buying things that weren't essential to the family.

Stealing became natural to George; it got so bad to the point where he just stopped asking his parents for anything. If he wanted it he would just take it. Unfortunately one day his parents decided to go to one unlucky dollar store. Dollar stores are George’s the usual places to rob, because of the lack of security that was in the stores. Was also greatly under staff, so George decided why not use it to his aventage he figured. He found a finger skateboard that he found was really cool. But this toy was different from any other toy he had stolen before. Not only was it cool, but the toy was really expensive.

George first thought was to maybe ask his parents first, but he knew the end result of that was going to be. He tried it anyway and little of a surprise she said the words he knew she would say. So he decided to take matters into his own hands. After he talked to his parents he went to the back of the store and went to go and stuffed the toy in his pockets. Little did he forget that the shorts he picked for today had no pockets… George was shook when he realized he didn’t have any clue on what to do next, but he wanted this toy so bad he was willing to try anything. So he stuffed the toy down his shorts in between his boxers. It was so uncomfortable the toy was poking his legs and groin but he told himself to bare with it.
