The Rude Person, The Polite Duck & The Red Stone - Short Story Comics

I was feeling bad because the person working at the store was quite rude.

 

I had said 'thank you' after they gave me my change and they didn't

say 'thank you' or 'you're welcome' or even 'uh huh.'

 

If a person cannot even spare an 'uh huh.' You know that that

 person is quite tight with Mr. Rude.

 

At least that's what Gramps used to tell me when I was a kid.

So because I was feeling bad due to the store employee's rudeness,

I decided to go to the lake.

 

I was there for about 7 minutes and 7 seconds, when all of a sudden

a very polite duck came towards me and said 'quack.'

 

I looked at the duck and said, 'Hello Mr. Duck how are you doing

today?' He looked at me and said 'quack' and then he seemed to smile.

 

I told him that he was more polite than some of the people I've met.

 

Once again he seemed to smile and said 'quack.'

 

As I was looking at this rather polite duck I happened to notice

The Red Stone on his back.

 

As Mr. Duck moved closer to me, I just knew that he wanted me

to take The Red Stone from his back.

 

I slowly reached for it and as I grasped it in my hand I felt a

tingly sensation.

 

I could also now hear Mr. Duck's thoughts. He told me to point

The Red Stone at the next person who was rude to me.

 

I asked him, 'what would happen when I would point The Red

Stone at someone that was rude to me?'

 

He looked at me and with a smile said, 'trust me.'

 

My reply to him was, 'all right Mr. Duck I'll trust you.'

And then I said, 'I can't wait to try it out tomorrow,"

 

I then said, 'Hey Mr. Duck! Why don't I go to the store

and get us a snack?' Mr. Duck's reply was, 'that sounds

like a most tasty idea.'

 

I told him 'I would get some chips if it was fine by him.'

He said, 'chips are one of my favorite snacks to snack on.'

 

We both had a good chuckle over this.

 

I told him that  'I would be right back with the chips.'

 

When I got to the store I went right to the aisle where the

chips were at. I got a good size bag for the both of us.

 

I then got in the checkout line. There were only a couple

of people ahead of me.

 

As I was waiting for my turn I noticed that the same employee

that was rude to me earlier was once again my checker.

 

I then remembered what Mr. Duck had said about pointing

The Red Stone at the next person who was rude to me.

I had told him that I trusted him and that I would do just that.

 

Well it was now my turn. I said, 'Hello'  to the checker and

they didn't say anything. The silence was deafening.

 

The checker scanned my chips and then I payed for them

and said, 'thank you.' But just as in the morning they had

nothing to say.

 

I looked around and saw that there was no one else here.

So I reached in my pocket and pulled out the Red Stone

and then I pointed it right at the checker.
