ned sweeps

he sweeps 

because it's his broom.

it's his broom

because i gave it to him as a present.

you see, a few years ago, 

i needed a new broom 

and it was almost his birthday.

i bought the broom and

wrapped it in monster wrapping paper.

my theory was

that if i GAVE it to him

he would be excited to sweep.

my theory proved to be correct.

he reminded me on sunday,

while happily sweeping,

that it was HIS broom.
