Uncertain Fortunes
The jeweler carried the little lad home, and they were met with warm welcome by his wife and daughters. The girls took to the baby instantly like he was a lost pup brought in from the cold. The jeweler fought it, he put his foot down. He said "absolutely not," but in the end they kept the baby anyway.
Ore, the name given to the boy by the jeweler's wife and daughters grew to be a handsome youngster. His hair was dark as jet, and his eyes were azure blue with midnight centers. Everyone in the jeweler's household adored him. He was the son, and brother they had always wanted. They delighted in his first steps, and tried so hard to make him laugh. He slept in a bed by the fire, and never went hungry, not even once.
