Short Story

A broken wristwatch, peppermints, and a hug that goes too far.
One day a boy named Ben Dover was walking down the the street and he saw a wrist watch. He bent over and picked it up. Its broken he said. How sad he said oh well and he carried on walking down the street. He then came across a beautiful lady and she said what's your name. He said Ben Dover. The lady giggled and said have a peppermint. Yum said Ben I love peppermints and he stuck it in his mouth. At that second the lady gave him a huge hug and the boy said what the heck are you doing. Hugging you. Owww Owww No You're Squeezing me. Aghhhhhhh. You deserve to today said the girl.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
