I wonder how long, you awful parasite
Shall share me this little bed,
And make me, from sweet dreams be lost
By sucking blood from my poor head.

I should but say man has much
Blood, which you and your families do feed
on; for supper, dinner, and lunch,
And besides, you do in my bed breed.

Clever thou art, tiny creature;
You attend me when I am deep asleep;
When thou art sure, I cant you capture,
Just as the time I snore deep.

''Tis so strange that before twilight,
The bed clear of you would seem;
For not one you is in my sight
As if your presence was in a dream.

The bright sun continued to smile. Andrew's face beamed with pleasure with every passing moment.
Very few of his contemporaries have so succeeded in reaching the top of the ladder. Andrew in particular
had been an orphan of storm. His father's death during his third year in the secondary school coupled with the physical misfortune which he suffered when a stockfish machine severed his left middle finger, constituted a serious setback but Andrew did not despair.
The courage to fail is very cheap; every fool can afford of fail. But it raises one above the herd of cowards and never-do-wells to be up and struggling. The reward of forbearance in the end is resounding success.
And so it was for was for Andrew ever since he finished his university education; it had been success galore. He had got a good job in one of the country's insurance companies. His pay was good, his prospects seemed bright. The habitual Thomases in his family found it very hard to believe. At forty he had a good car and had already built a house of his own.The world was at his feet.
