The young boy in the photograph was bundled

The young boy in the photograph was bundled up in clothes warm and disguising. Who was this young man and how did he get to this place? Peering at the picture,

I began to realize that I couldn't look away. Then the boy in the photo smiled at me, waved, and walked off into the snow. I tried to frown but I was frozen, captured in a reverse

feeling of both joy and sadness. I wish that I would have had enough time to get to know the mysterious figure better, but I understood that life presents itself with both

glasses and good lighting. Since I had neither to hand the figure was unknowable to me. I decided to punch the figure hard in the stomach. Its funny how boredom can make you do

that. I wish I was able to do damage though, the figure hardly moved.

I tried with all my strength, but nothing I did seemed to work. I was too weak.

So I sent a SASE for the Charles Atlas Dynamic Tension Bodybuilding course. In just seven days, I would be a man! I waited every day by the mail box. When it arrived,

I began to run in place for an entire 5 minutes. A new record! This aggressive style of motivation seemed to be working. I turned the small note over and was shocked to read

that if I didn't keep running, the dragon in the next room would breathe fireballs at me. Obviously, I haven't stopped running since. Talk about motivation.
