Welcome to America, Land of the free and 

home of the brave! Today's story is about how 

America is the best country ever!  

Once upon a time, in downtown New York, 

there was a lone stick figure, named Sparta, 

with a dream. A dream that he would become 

rich and famous like his parents. 

Unfortunately, they died without writing a will, 

leaving Sparta with nothing. Ligers got the 

best of them, but I don't want to go into detail.    

He eventually found a bench down the road 

which he decided to spend the night on. This 

was one of the coldest nights of his life. He 

had no one to comfort him except for a 

peculiar looking bird that sat upon a wall. He 

didn't mind though, he just went to sleep, 

hoping that the next day would bring some 

good luck.   

As he woke up from his sleep, he found the 

bird flying around like a hawk would over his 

pray. 

"Dang bird, get outta here!" said Sparta.

"Squack!" cried the bird.

"Wow, I'm never going to get rich and famous, 

I'm just going to die of starvation." wept the 

boy.

"Don't say that, here in America, anything is 

possible!"

"Who said that?" as Sparta looked around for 

the speaker.

"It's me, Chad the bird." squacked the bird 

"Yea? And what do you want, a cracker?"

"No, I want to help you achieve your goals and 

become successful!"

"How are you going to do that?"

"Follow me and I'll show you!"

From that point on, Sparta listened to Chad 

and did everything he told him. He spent a full 

8 years in college to learn about medicines and 

diseases so he could become a doctor. He got a 

short-term job. Sparta even started to brush 

his teeth. Life was going great with Chad by 

his side.  

"Ahh this is great isn't is Chad? I finally have a 

full life to live! And it's all thanks to you!" said 

Sparta cheerfully.

"Actually i should probably get going now, i 

think my work here is done." replied Chad.

"What! Why do you have to go? I don't know 

what I'd do without you!" 

"Well you see, I have a confession to make. I 

am no gift from the heavens. Before your 

parents died, they trained me for years, so 

that I could look after you should anything 

disastrous happened."

"So my parents really did leave me 

something."

"Yes, thanks to them, you have a great life, 

Sparta"

"Thanks for all your help Chad!"

And with that, Chad was gone.
