Hope For Happiness




"Who can?" is most. "Who will?" is little. But I am one. I will help. I will help the poor. They need our help. If you are reading this on your electronic device, be thankful you have it. I need your help to bring up the downs. To satisfy the unsatisfied. I can do it. You can, too. If you donate five dollars or more (cash only, please) I will send you a drawing. A piece of art created by me. 100% of the money goes to IOCC. (International Orthodox Christian Charities) I hope you can participate.

I am calling this project "Hope for Happiness." May God's richest blessings be upon you this Christmas season.

Darrin? What about me?

"I'm going to go play with Lenny and Bernard," Darrin noted. "Okay," Darrin's mom answered. "What about me?" asked Susie, Darrin's little sister. "You can't play basketball!" said Darrin, getting his coat.

 "Let's play hopscotch!" Darrin told Lenny. "What about me?" asked Bernard. "You're not a good jumper," said Darrin, picking up chalk. "I'll go play some soccer with Gary," said Bernard, sadly.

"I'm going to get ice cream," Darrin told Lenny. "What about me?" asked Lenny. "You don't like Rocky Road, that's all I'm going to get," Darrin told Lenny. "Oh," Lenny sighed with disappointment.

Later, while Darrin was eating his ice cream, he thought about his day. He made everyone very sad. Even his little sister. He had an idea.

"Susie!" Darrin ran to his favorite little turtle, "Let's go play basketball!" "But I can't," she told him. "I'll teach you," Darrin exclaimed.

"Bernard! Bernard!" He skipped to the soccer field. "Let's play hopscotch!" "But, I'm not a good jumper," he replied. "That's okay, I'll help you," Darrin shouted with delight.

"Lenny! Let's go! Let's go!" Darrin pounced to his seahorse friend. "Where?" He asked. "Ice cream, with all our friends!" He pointed to Susie and Bernard. "I don't like Rocky Road," he pointed out. "I'll get whatever you like!" Darrin said. "Okay!"

Darrin and his friends never had a better day!

Darrin and Hanukkah

"Hey, what do you want for Christmas?" Darrin asked Rebekkah, his clam classmate. "You celebrate Christmas, but I don't," she told him. "Huh?" Darrin asked. "I celebrate Hanukkah, the festival of lights," she explained. "My mom told me Jewish people do that," Darrin announced. "Yes," Rebekkah nodded. "Why lights?" Darrin scrunched up his face. "We light the menorah, a bunch of candles, every night," She said. "From January to December?" He asked. "No, it starts at different times every year!" "Ohh," Darrin breathed out. "One thing is the same, though..." Rebekkah notified him. "What?" Darrin asked smiling. "Presents!" Rebekkah laughed. So did Darrin.
