Hector was a garbage man for the city. His dream was to be in garbage management. Theodora was a princess from an island. One day she was on vacation at a beautiful resort when Hector jumped off his truck to dump garbage. At first he didn't notice her. He thought that she was just another can of garbage. He garbage-manfully upturned her.Β Β 
Β Β  β€œHey!” She cried out.
Β Β Hector dropped her. β€œI'm sorry! I
thought you were a can of garbage!”    
Β Β  β€œThat's okay. I haven't taken a bath in 2 weeks.”
Β Β  β€œMe too,” said Hector.
Β Β  β€œAre you a garbage man?” She asked.
Β Β  β€œYes. Some day I hope to be in garbage management!”
Β Β  β€œI'm a princess. My father is the king of our country.”
Β Β  β€œThat's nice,” Hector replied, perturbed.
Β Β  β€œWhat is it?”
Β Β  β€œI'm tired of meeting royalty. They're always
hanging around cans of garbage.”
Β Β  β€œI didn't ask to be born,” Theodora said forlornly.
Β Β  β€œMe too,” said Hector.
