I BUMPED MY FOOT

   I BUMPED MY FOOT 
   Walking along, I bumped my foot just because I had refused to look. I fell to the ground one stumble was all it took, life in this little mining town is always fast and busy. I jumped up quickly just to see what it could possibly be.
   It was a strange-looking rock just sticking out by the side of the road, and to my surprise, it turned out to be gold. With my honey-brown skin and my faded old clothes, I simply went unnoticed by all, moving around and doing whatever I supposed.I ignored everything and everyone daily, not caring about their turned-up noses and disappointed faces.
   To everyone passing in their big flashy cars, I was just the town's beggar with my few belongings and many little jars, I paid them no mind as I started to dig, and with a great big grin, I was dancing around and doing a jig.       When I got home to my little cottage in the woods safe and sound, dancing as I sang, just clowning around, so happy that my luck had finally turned around.
