The Balls

Tammie and Swirly was a pair of very silver and pretty Chinese Stress balls. They spent all their lives in a little red box in a store. The store was located in China Town. The stress balls were very happy when people walked by them, thinking that the people would buy them. Many different people saw the pair of stress balls.

One day, a young woman went into the shop to buy Tammie and Swirly. The young woman had anger management problems and needed a pair of Chinese stress balls. The young woman started to use the stress balls immediately after buying them. When she used them they would sing using chimes. When ever the woman was sad or angry, she would swirl them. When this happened, the chimes inside the balls would sooth her.

One night, the young lady had an argument with her mother. That night, the girl used her Chinese stress balls in order to calm down. The chimes in the balls soothed the young woman and she calmed down.

"Thank you Tammie and Swirly," the young woman said. She went to talk to her mother with the balls in her hand. The talked things through and everything was alright. After the conversation, the girl swirled the stress balls and they made that familiar cling sound. Ever since then, she used her Chinese stress ball.
