Hi @basil20. Thank you for joining us in The Ink Well, and for sharing this charming story. As you are still new to the community, we'd like to share some important tips and guidelines. First, please be sure to read our community guidelines, which are posted to the top of the community.

And here are some additional things to be aware of:

• In The Ink Well, we value quality far above quantity. We ask our community members to please read each story through carefully for errors before posting. If you read this carefully story, for example, you will see that the second paragraph has a grammatical problem: But could you someone was already living in the house.
• Another important thing to know is that we expect everyone to engage in the community by reading and commenting on at least two other member's stories for each story you publish in the community.
• Please be sure to read our treasure trove of tips, reminders and guidelines. You will learn all kinds of things about our community, including that we suggest that stories are a minimum of 750 words.
• Be sure to read our latest monthly newsletter for May and the tip of the month about posting frequency.

Thank you and we hope these resources are helpful, and that they set you up for success in The Ink Well.
