The Grateful Girl — Mark Douglas Stafford

A SHORT STORY ABOUT GRATITUDE. Lucy's parents never said ‘no', not once. They never asked her to work for anything, to do any chores, to care for anything. So she had grown up ungrateful, taking everything for granted. It wasn't that she was particularly selfish or unthinking; it was just that she didn't know any better. Then strange things started to happen.
