The Market Run

     Leaving her home, a wife without flaws, over took a husband without money, on a day without clouds. They were headed separately to the same market that was to spin it's own web in their lives. For there they would meet the Merchant without hope, and a child without care before their returning. The wife was the UN-nerving of a man married to her 25 years, and never saw his wife fail at anything. The Husband walking in our story was too broke to even face the market let alone visit it, yet here he was, almost drawn to the market by an unseen hand.
     Children have an UN-canning ability to live in their own minds even in a crowd, so there he was a ball of a boy, having fun as if he brought his own crowd.  Every now and again his mother with the baby in the baby carriage strove to keep her son in route about her. Frustration set in when Mom and busy collide with much, and her hands became full on both fronts with her son just out of reach and without a care. Approaching from the far right was the penniless husband and shuffling through the crowd, was the flawless wife with her packages neatly dangling from her arm with busy in check. just then the child made a move and before anyone could gasp, his hand was up the flawless lady's skirt. The warmth along gave her notice, but what came next sent her into over drive. I think she blacked out, the mother did all she could to grab her son and before the dissipation of the crowd, a big bill lay just out of site unbeknown to any in that crowd. Seeing the commotion, the family man staggered in the area and to his surprise, there lay $100 bill. Trembling he picked it up, and put it in his pocket and moved through the crowd.
     The Merchant who was without hope, had been known to the family man, and it was people like him that ofttimes spent many dollars keeping him afloat. It wasn't long, when the family man pulled up to the Merchant, and with a smile, asked for lots of bags. As the two did a dance of delight, one for his reasons the other for another, money was exchanged and the two parted. This time the family man had a pace similar to the flawless wife and passed her subbing as she staggered home. This family man hadn't noticed her for he had home on his mind and praise too. Else where the mother almost grew an arm, as she tucked her son almost in the carriage with thoughts of where his hand had been.
   Reaching her home, the flawless wife was greeted by her puzzled husband. In tears like never before seen both in the home or in the neighborhood. Neighbors gathered about the house asking questions for this their neighbor gave them a new side of her they didn't even know she had. Inside the house, the wife told how she lost $100, and to her shame, told of the little boy who cause her to black out. The husband cracked a smile, and hugged his wife almost as much as on the day he married. She was shocked at the hug, she asked him what about the $100 bill. Her husband reached into his pocket and gave her three of them as if to thank God she is normal. Meanwhile, the penniless husband turned money bags, busted in his house to the grins of wife and children. And while they were emptying those bags, the phone rang, with news of a job for the new man of the house. Who would have thought a miss guided boy's hand would bring a return from the market, a bashing Gala...nj
