Twenty

Alright, so there was this teacher-dude, right?
And he was a goooood teacher dude.
And this is how he started one of his classes:
He held up a twenty dollar bill and asked his class,
"Who wants this twenty dollar bill?"
Well, people's hands went up.
Then he says, "Well, I will give one of you this twenty
dollar bill, but first, let me do this to it."
Then he crumpled up the money, and asked.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Nobody put down there hand.
Then this teacher-dude threw the money on the floor,
and ground it into the dirtieness with his toe.
And asked, "Now who wants it?"
Nobody put down there hand.
He said,
"You still want the money, because no matter
what I did to it, the value was the same.
Each of us has been crumpled up and ground
into the dirty ground in our lives, but to the
people who love us, we are still priceless.
We never lose our value."
^^That? That changed my life.
