#204 An Unfinished Story- O. Henry
This O. Henry story has a darker lean than most. I could
tell you that ths one was about dreams, or self-worth, etc. but these are all
so short, you should just read them yourself. Here are a few of my favorite
passages:
“There are but two subjects upon which one may discourse
with a free imagination, and without the possibility of being controverted. You
may talk of your dreams; and you may tell what you heard a parrot say. Both
Morpheus and the bird are incompetent witnesses; and your listener dare not
attack your recital.”
“Piggy needs but a word. When the girls named him, an
undeserving stigma was cast upon the noble family of swine.”
“The liquorice was an extravagance—almost a carouse—but what
is life without pleasures?”
