his is the windiest Autumn on last 5 years. Hard and cold wind blew this Dream Town for whole of Autumn. Most of people on this town like to spend their spare time in the parks around them. That day Jack Springs the Dream’s Town major, was giving a little renovation to those parks, one of it was ‘The Park of Freedom’. They repainted fenches, the pole, and benches. They also gave notice boards on the repainted things. It’s stuck well on them, unfortunately the hard wind blew the notice boards away, the workers didn’t notice this. They left the park as they finished their job.

Mr. Jack Springs was busy for checking the renovated parks over the town, as he passed  ‘The Park of Freedom’s gate, suddenly his car blowned down, “Oh, today is my lucky day.” He said. Then, he got off from his car and brought a piece of newspaper with him. He decided to spend today at this quiet, peace and comfortable park. He sat down on a big bench at the midle of the park which close to a small pond. He started to read the newspaper. He just realized that two squirrels were trying to put his shoe off. There was a little fight between them. Finally, Mr.Jack Springs allowed the squirrels to take his shoe, he thought his shoe was already old. As he give it to them,, the squirrel went off. Mr. Jack feel relieved and he began to read again, he enjoy that time very much.

When he moved over another page, cold rain immediately fell. So, he jump quickly from his bench. His tuxedo stuck on that wet-painted-bench. Gratefully, he could released his tuxedo, although it gave paint-marks on his tuxedo. He ran faster after he did that, he ran into a small shop across the street. That was not the ending, he was still busy, searching for the nearest loundry shop. He has ran for a mile, until finally he found that loundry shop. As he arrived in front od that shop’s door, he read the notice on the door’s glass “Sorry, Sunday we’re closed.”. He just realized, that was Sunday, then . he said “Oh my dearest God, I hope today is my lucky day.”. As He started to walk on the road-side, he passed a tall, beautiful, long-haired lady. His eyes could not moved anywhere else instead of looking at her. Suddenly, that lady turned around and greet him. “Sir Jack Springs, what are you doing here?”The lady said. “I’m looking for a place where i can wash this tuxedo.”Mr.Jack Springs answered. “ Your beloved home is far from here, am I right? I will be very pleased if you want to visit my home, it’s not far from here, won’t you?”Asked the Lady. “Of course i want, only a stupid man would reject this.”Answered Mr. Jack. As they walked together Mr.Jack told her all of tragedies which happened to him that whole day. They laughed together, and Mr.Jack could find his own Luckyness.
