Saturday Centus – Wk#110 – Prompt: You could have had it all… – 106 words – “I Did”

“You could have had it all. You were in a high paid job and on the track to fame and fortune yet you threw it in to become a teacher.”

An elderly man smiled weakly at his nephew, “Riches aren’t always measured in wealth and fame.”

“But what has it given you?” the nephew asked.

Smiling, “Read some cards.”

There were many to choose from as every spare space had been taken up by them. The nephew started to read…

“To the best teacher in the world.”

“You were there when I needed someone.”

“Okay,” the nephew agreed, “but you could’ve had it all.”

“I did.”
