The old but new house

I was an old house, dark,musty,damp and stale with no one around to laugh and have fun in my long halls, just me and the dust . It was very lonely and cold after a while. As I watched my walls tear and nice families move into the nice,pretty,cozy houses around me. and then I lost hope that anyone would want to live in a house like mine .. but then something changed. A family was there looking at me and then I heard the words that would change my life forever ...”it's perfect we will take it.” It was a miracle !!!! After a while, like a long while I was the real me, my walls were painted a light blue and my wooden floors were polished and I was perfect ! The kids played like it was a jungle gym and the parents cooked the most amazing meals. I could not ask for a better family :) .
