Jeff and the fireman

Once upon a time in a large city there was a boy named Jeff. He grew up in the ghettos always dreaming of a better life. One day he had passed by a burning house (which was a usual occurrence in his neighborhood) but today he noticed something different today he noticed the shinny red uniforms and the glittering truck of the men and women who put out the fires. He wanted to do that, he wanted to matter to the world. One of the fireman noticed Jeff and told him the first step to becoming a firefighter was learning how to climb the ladder... So he gave Jeff three gold coins and told him to go find his own ladder to practice. Jeff went to the store and didn't buy the ladder instead he bought wood and a garden hose. He worked and worked building his very own ladder... His mom would criticize him saying he would never be able to finish the task do he continued to work harder to prove her wrong. After weeks of hard work the ladder was built and he had spent hours practicing with the garden hose being full of water. One day he put all his hard work to the test. The oven two apartments above him started on fire and he began to climb his home made ladder with his full garden hose. He sprayed it towards the smoke grabbed a cat meowing nearby and headed back down his ladder. At the bottom he was met by the same fireman who had given him the coins. Impressed with the effort the little Jeff had given he promoted him to jr. fire preventer and told him that when it comes to the time of actual fires to let only those in shinny red uniforms to put them out. Jeff took his badge with a grin packed up his ladder and skipped down the street filled with pride that he was a hero for a day! The end....
