We All Know What He Can Do

There was this guy who was very upset. He cried, and he started to think whether he would be any less upset if he could cry harder. So he cried harder. And he started to think if he could really cry harder than what he just did. He doubled his effort to cry and the thought came to him that if he can really cry harder than that.

Because he was so upset, it wasn’t very hard for him to triple his effort to cry. It went on and on to the point that the guy could not cry any harder. He tried crying harder and he couldn’t. He tried pulling his hair, but it didn’t work. Then he thought about how he had failed in the pie eating contest that really hit him when he was 10, it didn’t work. He thought about the other competitions that he had failed, they didn’t work. Not even the script writing contest that ruined everything he had before.

It depressed him so much that that was the hardest he could cry. So this guy who was very upset went on to be even more upset than what he already was, cried harder than what we all thought he could. The crying was so loud that he could not have noticed that he just cried harder than what he thought he could.

In the years since, he hasn’t done much crying. He felt part of him died, but we all know what he can do. It will be nice if you could tell him just that, because I am not in a position to do so.
