Lawrence once again left his home to sell ice cream on the road. He pedaled and pedaled for some time and saw a big house. It was the only house on that road. He approached its gate and rang his bell to call the attention of the people inside. Shortly, a man went out and immediately told him that he didn't want to buy ice cream and told him to leave immediately. The man then hurriedly closed the gate and left him. So Lawrence had no choice but to leave the place. He turned his ice cream cart and started pedaling away from the house. He bent his head to see what time it was from his wristwatch. But as he bent his head he saw something on the ground, something he thought he had already seen. It was a wallet. Hurriedly, he got off his cart and approached to pick it up. And just like what he thought it was Christine's wallet. He saw her picture on it after her opened it. Wondering a little how it landed there, he looked back at the house. He stared at it for a moment and decided to head to the 

subdivision and returned the wallet to Christine hoping that he would found her that day.
      When he got inside the subdivision he immediately hurried to Christine's house. He rang the door bell and a tall handsome elderly man opened and looked at Lawrence.
      "What is it?" he asked Lawrence.
      "I found Christine's wallet," he said extending his hand holding the wallet to him.
      The man immediately took the wallet from him and looked inside it. "Where did you find this?" he asked suddenly.
      And Lawrence told him where he found it. After the man thanked him he hurriedly went back inside their house. Lawrence waited a little still hoping to see Christine. But once again she did not come out of their gate.
      Lawrence then left the subdivision and went home. 

                                                     Chapter 2

      A week later Lawrence was called to the principal's office. He went and after she made him sat in front of him, she told her that someone had given him a full scholarship. He could finish high school and college on any course of his choosing at the same university all for free. Lawrence didn't know what to say to the principal, he was so happy and almost in tears. And he just heard himself saying thank you to her.
     But the principal told him that he shouldn't thank her. He should thank his rich and kind sponsor instead. She asked him to go with her to the house of his scholarship sponsor. Grateful, Lawrence agreed. She boarded him on his car, drove and left the university.
     Suddenly, Lawrence realized they were heading to Christine's subdivision. He glanced at the principal besides her wondering. The guard immediately opened the gate for them. The white Ford Car went through and continued moving inside the subdivision. The car stopped right in front of Christine's
    

house. Lawrence glanced back at the principal. She just smiled at him noticing him. She then opened the door and went down. Lawrence followed. The maid opened the gate and asked them to follow. She walked the two going to the living room. And to Lawrence surprise, he saw Christine smiling at him. She was standing beside the tall elderly man he talked one day. The elderly man too smiled at Lawrence. Lawrence smiled at Christine and to the elderly man beside him. 
     "Christine," Lawrence called her name looking at her.
     "Lawrence," she just said grinning at him.
      The principal then spoke looking at Lawrence by her side. "This is Mr. Donald Harrison, your scholarship sponsor Lawrence."
     "He is," Lawrence just said. And then he just heard himself say thank you to him.
     "No son, I should thank you instead," he said smiling and
  
      

gently patted his shoulder. He then made him and the principal sat with them on the sofa. After all of them were seated, the elderly man continued speaking.
"Thank you so much Lawrence, because of you I got my daughter back."
     Surprised, Lawrence glanced at Christine by the man's side. She smiled at him. The man continued. "Because of you, we found the place where Christine's kidnappers were keeping her. We really lost hope, but then you came and returned her wallet and told me where you found it. I called the police and immediately they made their rescue plans. And they were successful; Christine is back with us without having to pay the million of money they were asking for her ransom."
     "Thank you Lawrence," Christine finally said to Lawrence smiling at him.

   Lawrence didn't know what to say but just heard him saying you’re welcome to her. Mr. Harrison and the principal smiled at the two children smiling and looking at each other.
     Two years later, Lawrence finished high school and after five years he finished Business Management Course at the university. And when he thought he was ready, he proposed to Christine, his college girlfriend. She immediately accepted. And after two years, Lawrence rushed to the hospital to see Christine and their first born child. 
     "It's a boy,” Christine told him looking at him.
     "Yeah it is," Lawrence said and immediately hugged his son kissing him gently on the cheeks. He then sat beside Christine on the bed she was laying. "Thank you Christine..." he said softly looking at her.
     "No, thank you Lawrence," she said and smiled at him.

                                                     The End

                                     About Ants and Other Creatures                             

     
        The ant went home. When he got there he saw a bee blocking his entrance. "Hey bee, what are you doing outside our home? Why are you blocking our door?

      The bee stared at the ant. "Oh is this your home?”     

      "Yes, that’s our home. I’ve got lots of brothers in there,” he answered quickly.

      "Really, but look I don’t see any other ants inside or around the place. Aren’t you ants like to fall in line all the time?” he asked.

      The ant looked back. He saw no one. He looked to his left, and then to his right and still he saw no one. "What happened to them?” he asked finally.    

      "Why are you asking me I’m just a bee,” he answered. "Hey how come you can see me? I heard ants can’t see,” he asked and said. 

      "Yeah, that’s what they say, even human does. But the truth is ants can  see. They just don’t know how we do. But we do see.”

      "Really, " the bee just said. Then suddenly the other ants started coming. They fall in line and walked towards the entrance. One by one they got through. The first ant and the bee was left all alone outside once again. They chatted and chatted about so many things about each others races. They became friends. The bee left and the ant went inside and greeted the queen and his brothers.

      This story is just about my view about Science. Many people say, plants don’t talk. And other creatures can’t do this or that. Maybe, the truth is we just don’t know how they do it. But  maybe someday we will…
