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.ย ย 
ย ย  โ€œHey!โ€ She cried out.
ย ย Hector dropped her. โ€œI'm sorry! I
thought you were a can of garbage!โ€ย ย ย ย 
ย ย  โ€œThat's okay. I haven't taken a bath in 2 weeks.โ€
ย ย  โ€œMe too,โ€ said Hector.
ย ย  โ€œAre you a garbage man?โ€ She asked.
ย ย  โ€œYes. Some day I hope to be in garbage management!โ€
ย ย  โ€œI'm a princess. My father is the king of our country.โ€
ย ย  โ€œThat's nice,โ€ Hector replied, perturbed.
ย ย  โ€œWhat is it?โ€
ย ย  โ€œI'm tired of meeting royalty. They're always
hanging around cans of garbage.โ€
ย ย  โ€œI didn't ask to be born,โ€ Theodora said forlornly.
ย ย  โ€œMe too,โ€ said Hector.
