A Happy Story

Il Nido

Sneezy Tom went to the bookshelf and picked up a book.

“Wanna hear a story?”

Grumpy Doc nodded.

“But read a happy story.”

“Doc, what's a happy story?”

Grumpy Doc turned to look at him, frowning.

“Something that ends well.”

“Then I have to grab another book. This won't do.”

With the second book in hand, Sneezy Tom started reading.

“... and the two lived happily ever after, her head chopped off and stored in a jar.”

“Yeah.”

“How did you find this place? There's no one else here.”

“I got an email. They sent me an 80%-off coupon.”

“The photo's really bad. Where's this?!”

“I don't know. But this is where the hot air balloon is.”

“I can see that... Do you have any other irrelevant information to volunteer?!”

“There's a lighthouse on the photo.”

“I can see that too... What else?”

“Nothing... Except those red leaves.”

“Special leaves?”

“No. They're quite common.”

“Then, we have nothing.”

“Nope.”

“Why did you bring me this photo then?”

“Because at the back someone wrote the coordinates.”

“And you waited this long to tell me that?”

“I just hate negative people.”
