Everyday,

Average Joe takes his smiles and dumps them down a well he passes on his way to work.

After his long shift, he opens his wallet and shakes the dollars & change into that well.

On his days off, he sits by the well watching other Joes & Janes bereave their everything.

He peers down and sees infinite value glinting at the bottom, and wonders,

Where does it all go?

-

Little Joe doesn’t understand why Average Joe never buys him toys,

Average Joe replies, average people can’t afford such luxuries.

Before work, one day, Little Joe asks, will I get a job,someday, so I can throw all my things in the well just like you?

Average Joe smiles and says, you won’t need to because you’re better than average, You’re a very special boy.

But in the back of his mind, he knows things are going to be far worse for Little Joe.
