Mr. No Face

All the kids laugh and joked about him as he walked threw the park. They called him Mr. No face. He had this long gray and black beard that covered his whole face, all you could see is his beady hazel eyes covered with bushy gray eyebrows. He walked with a limp to the left as if his lefts foot always bothered him. His brown slacks, which were held up by black suspenders, were always creased perfectly down the middle. He wore a black hat with a red and white feather on the left side. His white button-down shirt was neatly pressed with military creases. His black pointy toe shoes slid as he walked. Though he never said a word to anyone, he would hum in a deep voice the National anthem. As he walked and passed anyone, he would just put his head down and keep humming. Never did he mess with anyone, but the neighborhood kids were so cruel to him. They would scream No face is coming, No face is coming, and gathers behind him imitating his walk. Most of the time he would ignore them, but every now and then he would stop, turnaround, lift up his hairy face and growl at the kids, rrrrrrrrrrr. And they would all start running. And if you were brave enough to look back, you could see him smile for a brief second. One day while Mr. No face was sitting on the park bench a little freckle face boy walk up to him as he sat humming the national Anthem. Mr., what is your name, the little boy said. But Mr. No face did not answer he just started humming louder. The little boy, out of curiosity, then said, why do you keep humming the same old Nation Anthem. But Mr. No face just got just louder and louder. But to Mr. No faces surprise, the little boy did not leave; he actually started singing the National Anthem as Mr. No Face hummed. The two were so loud that people started gathering to here them hum and sing. The little freckly face boy had a beautiful voice and Mr. No faces deep humming could sooth the soul. No time at all people started to give them money and clapping. The two sing from morning until noon, and at 12:30 on the dot, Mr. No Face stopped humming and the little freckle face boy singing. The crowd that had gathered went away leaving Mr. No Face and the little freckly face boy starring at each other with a hat full of money in the middle of them. Mr. No face stood up towering over the little freckle face boy, and said, my name is hop and I hum the National Anthem because gives me hope, that one day I will meet a friend like you, who will not judge me for what I look like but for what’s in my heart. Now let’s take this money and get some ice cream. And the two walked side by side to the ice-cream shop humming and singing our great National Anthem.
