Story of a Tissue Paper

Once upon a time there was a tissue paper. An ordinary tissue paper wrapped up in a plastic covering. Let us in order to give gender say the tissue paper was a lady. So lady tissue paper was lying on top, out of reach of rainy days and sniffy noses.
One day came along a man. He reached up and saw Lady Tissue paper and decided he wished to have it. Lady Tissue paper tried her best to stay out of reach but the man, he hypnotized Lady Tissue paper with kind sweet words and also Lady Tissue paper saw that the man was nice and clean, he wouldn’t ever need to use her. So Lady Tissue paper went with this man. She let him keep her in his pocket. She let him hold her. Many eyed her and mocked her, but Lady Tissue paper decided she knew this man and he wouldn’t ever use her. Lady Tissue paper was in love, she forgot she was a tissue paper and tissue papers are manufactured to be used. Silly Lady Tissue paper!
So this man, one day asked Lady Tissue paper if he she could come out of her cover because he wished to see her. He wanted to feel Lady Tissue Paper and see how the fine threads went along her surface. Apprehensive Lady Tissue paper agreed for tissue papers have no eyes and are blind. So out she came. If you ever have used a tissue paper you would know, after some time it begins to lose its gloss. Sadly, that is what happened to Lady Tissue paper too. For she was an ordinary tissue. She lost her charm and then her gloss and finally she was shedding her ends. So this man he decided he had no use of Lady Tissue paper anymore and he tried to put her back in the cover. But alas! Lady Tissue paper wouldn’t fit in there.
One day it rained. Now see the story says it poured from the sky, but some very secretive sources tell us Lady Tissue paper suddenly grew eyes and they poured making her wet. Wet tissue papers are of no use to anyone. And also, they make pockets wet, so when this man’s pocket’s started complaining, he took out the annoying Lady Tissue paper and put her in a corner.
Many accounts say Lady Tissue paper died, for she was empty now from her very core. All shriveled up, but some say they see Lady Tissue paper trying to find her plastic covering with hope that one day she can still be far up on the shelf where never again can she be used.
