Giving the Sky

​A well known and wealthy individual decided to go on vacation.

Foregoing his sumptuously furnished penthouse and high-rolling lifestyle, he decided to trade it all in (at least temporarily) for a cabin he had built himself in the mountains.

The cabin was essentially just a shack of stacked logs that they steadily add new features to, but essentially all there was a cot, a wood stove, and an iron skillet for his cooking.

However, a robber caught wind of his vacation plans and decided to snoop out where he was staying; hoping perhaps to steal at least some part of his vast wealth.

After some sleuth work, he eventually found out the location     and made his trek.

He finally arrived upon the property just as a clear, star-filled night began to fall.

Yet unbeknownst to the robber, the wealthy individual coming back from their evening walk and met up to the man.

“The sky is so beautiful tonight, isn’t it?”
