Keep Off the Grass!!!

I wrote this story the other day in class, so I thought I'd add some stuff to it and then use it as my blog!!

Have you ever wondered why it is important to “Keep Off the Grass”? It must be important or else people wouldn’t put signs up all over the place. Sure they may say “We put a lot of work into our landscaping efforts and we don’t want you to mess it up by walking all over it”, or “Its rained a lot recently, so the grass is very muddy and slippery”, but I know that’s not how it goes. I know the truth, the real reason behind it all!

We’ve all heard stories about how at the end of a rainbow is a leprechaun’s pot of gold. This is partially true. The gold is found at the ends of a rainbow, but you don’t just walk up and find it. The pot of gold is actually pushed by the rainbow down through the ground until it is deep enough to instantly become the humble home to so many varieties of bugs and insects.

Obviously gold is valuable; therefore the people who happen upon where the rainbow ends want to be able to get to it. That is why they devised a plan. If they put up a “Keep Off the Grass” sign then people will stay away. This gives the person ample time to find the gold for themselves.

In the dead of night, by the light of the moon, they go out and dig, dig, dig. Then when dawn starts to arrive they cover up their work and wait again until the next night. Sure countless hours of sleep may be lost, but the end justify the means, so they keep at it. This cycle goes on for weeks even months until the gold is finally found.

So the next time you see a “Keep Off the Grass” sign, Heed my warning!! Don’t just walk by saying “My that sure is a nice yard, so green and lush”. Kick over the sign! Go on the grass! Tear up the yard! A pot of gold is just sitting there waiting for you to claim it. Just make sure to get rid of all the bugs before you go off and start spending.
