She often
saw that house.
It looked appealing
from outside.
The satin
curtains, the furniture... everything looked perfect.
Not
satisfied with glimpses, she wanted to explore the entire house.
The mere
thought made her feel happy.
She
imagined what it’d be like to visit it.
She got
her chance soon.

An elderly
woman wanted a parcel hand-delivered there.
She volunteered.
She entered
the gate and rang the bell.
A young
man answered the door.
While handing
over the parcel, she saw for herself-
The house
was messy and dark.
She realized
it had high-quality classy posters affixed on the windows!

"Never judge a book by its cover." Do you agree?
That is certainly true, Anita! Clever tale.
ReplyDeleteand sometimes even magazine-perfect interiors conceal the messiness
ReplyDeleteSuch a great original story 🙌

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteWe never know what's behind the window shades and walls, do we? Nicely done.
Shalom,
