CHAPTER 1

Once upon a time, there was a man named Joe. Joe was no ordinary man; Joe worked at McDonalds! Every day he got up, ate breakfast, and got on his work uniform. He was soon promoted to manager because he did such a great job flipping burgers. Then the rest of the McDonalds crew hated him because they wanted the position. After a while they got used to it. He was a great manager. He got paid very well. 50 dollars a week! But then one day Joe caught a cold. He was such a great worker, that he went to work that day, even though he felt miserable. The only problem with this was that he was sneezing a lot and getting germs everywhere. Soon the head honcho of the whole company, Ronald, came and said he was fired. Joe was heartbroken. Since he now had no job, he had to sell his house. Now Joe was homeless. Since people sometimes gave him money, he got more money then he had when he worked at McDonalds (which isn't that hard to do). The next day, Joe stumbled upon a diamond the size of his head. He spent all the money he got from selling it on McDonalds food and is now roughly the size of a baby whale. Ever since he has been living in a cozy cardboard box with a great ocean view.
