A man named Richard Hutchins was a very happy man. Being a

famous artist he is, he was well-known to the whole world. All the
celebrities from around the world would hit him up to ask him to draw
them. Richard Hutchins was very happy as he loved see the smile on his
fans face as he became an artist just to make people happier and follow
his unlimited dream of a famous artist.

Unfortunately for him, it was the ending … He was returning home

after giving out his paintings to his friends. When he get closer he
started to smell smoke, from his house direction. Moreover he started to
hear firefighter sirens. He ran quickly as possible to the direction of the
sound and smell. Richard heart started to sank as he saw the tragedy
infront of his eyes. Its like his whole world fall apart as he saw his house
was burnt down in hot flames.

Now Richard stood there speechless, tears flowing down his face. He
couldn’t express himself as he felt lost and sad more like broken in his
heart. Now, not knowing where to go or what to do Richard went to a
near building and sat there still shock. He had nothing with him except
his old paints and some brushes. He thought it was the end for him and
soon he will suffer.

A few weeks have past, Richard was still sad and hungry. He started to
beg for money just so he could feed himself. Every people that walk past
him will scold or misjudged him by telling him that he is just a drug
addict and do not deserve the money. Sometimes, people will just tell
mean things to him which hurted him mentally.

One day, a man named Charlie Rocket was walking past by and noticed
Richard asking two people for money but as normally, people started to
misjudged him. Richard try to tell him their story but they wouldn’t
listen. Charlie felt really bad then he went up to him and gave hime
some money. Richard was touched and thank him. As Charlie was as
curious as a fox he decided to ask Richard about his story. ” Heu, Um..
not trying to be nosy but I couldn’t help but to overhear that you used to
work with celebrities?” Richard was surprised but was also happy that
someone was interested. Richard told him yes and ask him to look his
name up in the Internet to make sure. Charlie immediately look his
name up and he was shocked and astonished to see his drawing . It was
so beautiful that he couldn’t stop looking at it. But seeing this he
couldn’t understand how he ended up here. Seeing the look on Charlie
face Richard told him “ Hey look(x4) I know I ain’t much to look at
standing here… but I used to have my own studio until santo monica
fires burned it to ground. I lost all my paintings, lost all my art supplies.
Charlie, I lost everything!”. He told him in sadness. Charlie felt really
sorry and ask him “ What are you gonna do Richard” I don’t know what I
am going to do but I don’t want to sit on the curb no more Charlie, I
don’t want to hold the sign anymore , I don’t want to sit out here
everyday begging people for money so that I can get myself something
to eat!... I just miss making people happy” Richard felt down crying
feeling down and broken. Charlie felt sad and comfort him telling that
everything will be okay. Inspired by him Charlie decide to help him

The next day Charlie came and wanted to surprise him but when he
arrived there were no sight of him. He looked around and ask someone
did they saw him. A young lady told him that due blood clots all over his
legs and he couldn’t walk anymore, so they have take him to nearest
hospital. Hearing this Charlie ran as fast as he could to nearest hospital
and ask the nurse about him. The nurse brought him to a room where he
was held. “ Richard, are you okay?” asked Charlie. ‘ Honestly, It’s pretty
bad. They got it all wrapped up, and the doctor say, they might cut it off.
I just don’t know what to do Charlie.I just feel like I can’t win” he cried
and tell him. ‘ Hey Don’t talk like that . Okay, from now on positive
thoughts only ok. Because your thoughts become your reality”chimed
Charlie. Listening to bright words from Charlie he smiled and nodded. As

hospital tomorrow. Hearing this news Charlie and Richard smiled happily
