There once was a little girl named Amy.
There once was a little girl named Amy.
She had a piggy bank and a nice house with many friends who loved and respected her.
Her guardian had to leave and she was very sad.

Amy was accustomed to her guardians leaving every four to eight years,
She had come to expect it.
Well he did ,and Amy was assigned a new guardian named George.

Now George wasn't a very smart man but he had many friends who were(or thought they were) smart.
They had their own way of doing things and their own idea of how George should raise Amy.

George and his friends were also very handsy with Amy,
They would take liberties with her and even rob her piggy bank.
Amy didn't much care for this,she tried to tell people.
Some believed her but others were so easily fooled,
People believed only what Georges friends told them to believe and without question.

George had a brother named John, He knew of this too,And for eight years supported the violation of Amy.
He even stood By George 90 percent of the time contributing to the violation.
They even used Amy's piggy bank money to wage a feud with her neighbor Ira!
Just because Ira said something mean about Georges Dad.
As a matter of fact they said Ira started the fire that burned down Amy's house!
Now I'll admit Ira wasn't a nice guy, but he never burned down Amy's house.
Effie on the other hand, did burn down Amy's house.
But George and John didn't care.
They hated Ira and told Amy and her friends that Ira started the fire.
For seven years George and John (while abusing Amy and lying to her)spent all her money buying eggs to throw at Ira's house.
They told Amy that the other family members in Ira's house would welcome the egging and that they would pay Amy back all of the missing money from Amy's piggy bank.
But Amy's piggy bank was never reimbursed and George had left Amy's home in very bad shape.
The bills were piling up and the utilities were in danger of being turned off.
George couldn't even get the banks to give him money because his credit was so bad.
And Amy's Piggy bank was empty ,she couldn't afford the things she needed.
There was one thing that did please Amy though.
George was leaving and Amy was so very happy!
Because even though the abuse was already done and those who witnessed the abuse still remained quiet.
Everyone finally knew that George was a liar and a bad guardian,
But they weren't so sure about Uncle John.
Uncle John said he was a rebel.
Uncle John said he was different from George,and that he could be trusted with Amy.
He would make sure that the Piggy bank would soon be overflowing.
He said Amy would never be abused again.
Amy didn't want Uncle John to watch her,she knew Uncle John supported 90 percent of the abuse that George did and the abuse would continue.
Amy was very worried.
Amy needed a friend.
Amy's bank needed Change to fill it.
Amy had Hope.
You see Amy found a guardian she believed could help her rebuild her house.
She knew if this guardian was assigned to her that all of her friends would soon would come back to her house to play again.
Amy has hope.
You have a vote.

(Many apologies for the crappy grammar)
