Light bulb

the trouble began when that old lady ended up in the hospital...

REASON FOR HOSPITALIZATION:she had fallen and couldn't get up

.....about 15 days ago i came home from a hard days work at the the local office. when i entered the foyer of my building, mrs. hand, the old lady on the first floor, had her hand hanging out of her door with two dollars. she told me to approach her. when i came to a neighborly conversational distance from her, i noticed that it was pitch black in her apartment and she was awkwardly positioned on the floor. her head was just just high enough to give me head. the reason for her circumstance would soon be explained to me. after explanation it was clear to me that her leg was hurt and she needed a new light bulb for her living room. the two dollars was to be payment on a new bulb plus tip for my trouble. i told her i had an extra bulb upstairs and that i would be prompt on retrieving it. i then tried to refuse the money, but she was adamant about paying. after 6 seconds we compromised and i took 50% of the allotted cash. i then dashed upstairs grabbed the bulb and jotted back down.

i stepped over mrs. hand and strolled through her hallway to the living room. i fixed the bulb plus realigned the lighting fixure and made my way back through the hallway. i asked if she needed any help getting back on her feet but she said she was fine and would manage on her own. i thought to myself,"know need to argue with an old lady".........................

a week later i found out she was in the hospital....
