Audley Enuf

He stoked the fire when we tried to put it out. He started the fire when we were already burning. Audley Enuf is an average-looking fellow with below-average IQ points. We love him, regardless, of course, because, after all, he does have the best of intentions. He means us no real harm; but most of the time that’s what happens anyways.
It’s sad, really, that he doesn’t seem to understand the concept of pain - in spite of the amount of pain we inflict on him to try to make him understand. He just doesn’t grasp it. Like the time he pushed ol’ Mrs. Grainer down a flight of stairs; she broke her hip (among other things) but couldn’t ask for damages from a handicapped boke, could she? So we tried to help him recognize what he has done wrong (and put Mrs. Grainer at ease) by causing him an equal amount of pain.
Needless to say it didn’t work. I mean, you can tell by the state our town is in that we should have pushed a little harder. We were just too soft, that’s all; and now it’s too late. Well, I suppose in the end the lesson learned here is that you really shouldn’t physically abuse a retarded person - they don’t appreciate it. And they tend to rebel and cause mass chaos and injury to you and your townsfolk. So don’t try it, huh? Getting the town to fund it was more trouble than it was worth, anyways…
