“Try it. I’m sure it’ll work!,” blurted a 3rd grader who was sitting next to Jonas while their teacher monotonously lectured them about the substages of puberty.

Jonas learned from his seatmate that everyone has a secret. To put it into test, he has to ransom his whims through other people’s secrets. As soon as he came home, he targeted his Dad first.

“Dad, I knew your secret.” said Jonas nochalantly while looking down to hide his true intentions.

“Son, I’ll give you $100, just don’t tell your mom about it!”" his Dad replied nervously. Without an idea what his Dad’s secret was, he nodded calmly and went to his room.

While Jonas’ mother busied herself in the kitchen, Jonas thought his classmate must have been right. He just earned something out of nothing. He thought of putting to test his classmate’s theory to his mom to make sure it’s not a game of chance.

“Mom, I knew what you kept from me and Dad but I didn’t tell him about it yet.” explained Jonas while his mother was washing the dishes . This time, he managed to emote facially.

His mom froze, leaned back, and face Jonas. “Jonas, I’m sorry honey, I just… Please don’t tell your dad about it! I’ll increment your daily allowance twice.” reasoned Jonas’ mom whose face manifested embarassment.

Jonas knew nothing about the secret so he buried his face with both his hands and pretended upset. “Mom, I understand, and I promise. I won’t tell Dad about it.”

Jonas who couldn’t sleep in his room was amazed about how the theory proved effective and ludicrous. The next morning, while he’s on his way to cross the block to catch the bus, he met the mailman who was gingerly delivering messages to the neighborhhood. This time, he thought of testing it to someone he doesn’t know. He approaced the mailman and said in a straightforward mien, “Hey, I know your secret.”

The mailman fell to his knees while tears streaked uncontrallably. He opened his arms and cried, “Come son and give your Daddy a big hug.”

One night a father overheard his son saying his prayers “God bless Mommy and Daddy and Gramma. Goodbye Grandpa. “Well, the father thought it was strange, but he soon forgot about it. The next day, the Grandfather died. About a month or two later the father heard his son saying his prayers again “God bless Mommy. God bless Daddy. Goodbye Grandma.” The next day the grandmother died. Well, the father was getting more than a little worried about the whole situation. Two weeks later, The father once again overheard his sons prayers. “God Bless Mommy. Good bye Daddy. “This alone nearly gave the father a heart attack. He didn’t say anything but he got up early to go to work, so that he would miss the traffic. He stayed all through lunch and dinner. Finally after midnight he went home. He was still alive! When he got home he apologized to his wife. “I am sorry Honey.I had a very bad day at work today. “You think you’ve had a bad day? YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD A BAD DAY!?”, The wife yelled, “The mailman dropped dead on my doorstep this morning!!
