The Story Of The Rat And His Greed

This is the story of the rat and his greed. People take the short road, and miss out on opportunities. They try and cut through life like it is a board game. People that have the patience, and put in the time, get what they expected, and more.

The rat‘s obsession with money is what ruined him. He would do anything for it, he lost his wife, and custody of his kids. No matter what sort of job he did, he never seemed to make it. The cat, the rat’s arch enemy, was the only thing that had the same want for money as the rat. Even though this was true, nobody could match the rat’s greed.

The rat was confident, he knew that if he could just beat Dinglebob, everything would be okay, no matter what the cost. It’s finally here, opening day. The tower the rat awaited one month for, was finally here. His own skyscraper, that couldn’t be matched by anything else in the city, because it was his.
