Actually, he was a cook; He worked at two different places: at the school's cafeteria, and at Pizza Hut. He earned a better salary than other cooks earn. He was single and did not have any wife, and kids. He did not want to have any kids anybody to keep him company. He was living in peace and was well known in the courtyard where he lived. At school, all the students who lived in a dormitory and that eat at the cafeteria liked his food. The food that he asked was healty, nice, and tasty.

Today, the director of the school came to the cafeteria and talked to the employees. He asked them what is the name of the cook. They told him that his name was Mr Michael and introduced him to the director. Mr Browne, the director had a conversation with Michael. They were talking about the school's thanksgiving party that will occur on Tuesday, February 10th.

Mr Browne was telling Mr Michael what he was going to cook for the party. I am going to make sweetpotatoes, baked beans, turkey, rolls with butter, salad with eggs, I will add some chips. There will be chinese food such as egg rolls.

And, for the drink Mr Michael suggested lemonade and punch included water. And, for desert brownies and ice cream. The director found it perfect. He told Mr Michael that for all the hours worked he will be paid more than his salary for this occasion. Mr Michael was a good cook like everybody knows. He decided to work hard on his cooking to be well paid. After finishing his hours at the school's cafeteria, he went to Pizza hut to work. He was told that he cannot live the restaurant February,10th for the party which is a big issue. He was really upset, and thought about what he could do. He called the director who was still available and told him the issue. He told him that he was busy on February,10th and the director told him that he has to come at all costs because it was an important occasion. Mr Browne thought if Michael could make before 5PM, it will be okay. He asked Michael when he got out of work and he said 6PM but he will try his best.

 The party day came. Everybody who came for the party wanted to congratulate the cook. Michael was still working at Pizza Hut and left at 3:47PM. He was praying the lord to arrive on time so he can have his full salary. That was really important to him because he wanted to be able to pay for his rent and other things because he can be fired from his house. He took a taxi and arrive at 4:30PM. He made it! The director was happy to see him and he introduced him to many people that liked his food. He promised him to give him his$400 for the week. That salary was more that what he used to earn in a week to pay for his rent. Bless the lord shout Mr Michael with joy.

One more thing to add, the family Stoller had four cars. That shows how wealthy, they were. They had a really big garage. Mr Stoller , and Mrs Stoller were old people. They were a happy family but they did not know what to do with their money. They were thinking of having kids but it was too late. Since many years they were reluctant to have kids but it is only when they get old that they think of such things. Mrs Stoller is so sad because she does not have any kids with her. Mr Stoller was thinking of adopting kids. He wanted to please his wife, Mrs Stoller. He knew that she was sad because she did not have any kids. They were thinking of adopting a girl. One day, Mrs Stoller was in her bed talking to her husband: "Oh Georges, I am feeling lonely with no kids. I want to have a daughter, an adopted daughter. Okay, Jane I will see what I can do to help you. I understand your loneliness. I share with you the same pain that you have. Mr Stoller was a really good man. He liked his wife a lot and knew that it was too late for them to have kids. They have been married for ten years. Mr Stoller advised his wife to go to an orphanage to see if she can find a girl. Mrs Stoller knew an orphanage that was not far away from where she works. She decided to make a schedule to know when she has free time to talk to the director of the orphanage.

 When 12:o'clock came, Jane went to the orphanage to talk to the director. She asked to see all the girls of the orphanage. They were many parents who came and picked up kids. Mrs Stoller was the best person due to her free time. The last child was a boy. Mrs Sharp, the director of the orphanage told her how sorry she was to announce her that was a boy that was left. She was surprised, and she did not know what to do. Mrs Sharp told her to that it will take a while to bring some more kids to the orphanage.

Mrs Stoller told Mrs Sharp that she will think about it. "You have the whole week before somebody takes that boy said Mrs Sharp". The boy that was left was called Steve and was twelve years old. Mrs Stoller told her husband what happened, and let her know that she is not against adopting a boy. "Do not be that sad" said Mr Stoller to his wife. One day, you will find a daughter. The following day, when Mrs Stoller had free time she told Mrs Sharp that she will pick up the boy at 4:PM which is the time when she finishes work.
