I want nothing more than to rid of this dreadful house, thought Leona. Everything about her life made the woman depressed. She was single, no kids, boring job, and ever hated her house.
To rid herself of this foul mood she decided to walk through the park. It was a beautiful day out--birds chirping, blue skies, 75 degrees, and vivid fluffy clouds.
Eventually, Leona lay down to cloud watch but dozed off. The sound of an alarm jerked her out of her sleep. Strange, she thought. As she looked at the last cloud, it took the form of an oven ...
"That's not a cloud--that's smoke!" she exclaimed. "I left the oven on!"
She rushes home to see fire fighters putting out the last of the charred embers that remained of her house.
"Someone left the oven on. This house can't be saved," the fire chief said.
"No, no it can't," Leona said slowly a smile half hidden on her face.
