The Lawyer and the Coconut  By: Rachel Genari, Brittny Meeks and Keri Owens

Deep in the streets of New York City, lived a lonely, underpaid Lawyer. His home was only a dark, damp basement. One day he put an ad in the newspaper, it read, " Sensitive lady wanted by working class lawyer, Address: 1354 Brooklyn Blvd." A week later Anastasia was skateboarding down 13th Street, when the wheels of her board hit a rock, causing her to fly forward into a pile of old newspapers. As she sat up and started picking up newspapers, an ad caught her eye. To be exact the Lawyers ad. She read it through and decided to give it a try. On the day she was to meet him, Anastasia bought a new dress to make herself seem more presentable. Then she took a cab to the Lawyer's address. She arrived and knocked lightly on the door. The Lawyer answered and stood there confused, until he said, " Oh, you must have read my ad." He invited her in and they enjoyed a lovely dinner. Soon day turned to night, and he offered her a place to sleep. When she accepted, he went to ready her bed. First he placed a coconut on the bedsprings. Then he placed a mattress and one thin blanket on top. Soon they were both fast asleep. Morning arrived and as she rose, he asked how she had slept. " It was amazing, the best sleep I ever had!" He looked at her in dismay, speechless. " Don't you realize that I asked for a sensitive woman? You could not even feel a single coconut resting under your bed, you are not sensitive at all! You are as rough as stone!" Anastasia looked at him with bewilderment in her eyes. " What are you talking about? There is no possible way there was a coconut under that bed!" He stormed into the room and threw the mattress to the ground, picking up the coconut in the process. " __**//This//**__ coconut! This was under your bed the whole night and you //obviously// didn't feel a thing!" He hurled the coconut too the ground. In the explosion of milk and debri, Anastasia was covered!

 As she ran out in a frenzy, the Lawyer fell to his knees realizing he would never find love. " Why me?" he exclaimed. He was cursed to live happily never after.......
