Field

DaDDesigns

After a day’s work in the fields, Ronnie would say “Turn right”. Mike complied in silence. The path took them back to town. But there was also a path to the left.

“What’s over there?” asked Mike one day, pointing to the left.

Ronnie shrugged.

“Never felt curious?”

Ronnie shook his head.

However, Mike went back to the crossroads and, taking a deep breath, took the path to the left.

He never came back. He went to the big city. He became rich. And he never stopped being curious, especially about all the “paths to the left” he came across.
