The next sunny morning, Mrs. Johnson stepped out and felt the necessity of having a happy day. She saw a street musician and thought, "Why not bring that beautiful music home?, I love this guy’s vibe" So she said
"Hey, your music is awesome! Do you want to come to our place tonight for a little private concert?" she said to the musician.
The musician, looking surprised but most likely to say yes, said, "Sure, why not?" and just like that, Mrs. Johnson was suddenly planning a music session in her living room.
That evening, with the living room turned into a stage, Mr. Johnson, who had been having a bad day, looked up and asked
"What's happening here?" , a confused look forming on his face as he took in the scene."Surprise concert, my love! I invited the street musician. Isn't it cool?" Mrs. Johnson said, exploding with excitement.
Mr. Johnson said. "You really know how to spice things up. But I’m not having the best day so I’ll just sit and listen to the music”
The next day, Mrs Johnson continued to be the one having and making the others have a good day. That morning while she was walking on the street, she saw a group of homeless people and thought, “I should buy some food for these guys, why not?”
Then she went to a Mcdonald’s and bought 20 cheeseburgers and 20 french fries portions, after that she went to the place where the homeless people were and gave it to them, “Take these food so you can have lunch without worries” she said, the group of people thanked hat and prayed to god for her health. “THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BLESSINGS!” then Mrs. Johnson continued with her happy day.
One weekend, Mrs. Johnson bumped into a struggling artist in the park. On one thought, she invited the artist to showcase her paintings in their living room, turning it into an art exposition that brought the neighborhood together.
"Life's a combination of awesome moments because we decided to inject a bit of happiness into the everyday," Mrs. Johnson happily said.
Mr. Johnson nodded, a playful glint in his eye. "Every day is a potential playground for surprises. It's the joy of sharing these moments that makes it extraordinary, even though I’m tired of being the bad guy, let’s change tomorrow”.
Mrs Johnson said “that’s ok, I have to give you the opportunity to enjoy life as much as i did this week”.
Some weeks later after lots of mood changes from Mrs and Mr. Johnson, people were starting to disappear in the city, the number of people was so large that the news was presenting the case to everyone everyday, so they could be safe. As fast as Mr and Mrs. Johnson knew about this, they decided to swap moods again, so this time Mr. Johnson was trying to help everyone, while Mrs. Johnson was telling everyone to leave their houses with the purpose of making them easy prey for the kidnapper, “Please don't stay inside your houses, it is safer outside”.
Days passed and as much as Mr. Johnson tried, he couldn’t help all the city, and he was tired of running through the streets telling everyone to stay in their houses, so he asked his wife if they could swap moods again. “My love, I think the best option now is another mood change so we can experience the two faces of the problem”. So his wife said “That’s ok my love, but you must know something, these days, as the one with the bad mood, I haven’t only been out telling everyone to leave their houses, I also helped the kidnapper to kidnap them. So now, you must continue with my work”.
Mr Johnson was astonished! so he said. “YOU WHAT?” “That’s genius my love!” He said, “How could I get such a smart wife?” he asked himself.
And with that, the couple continued not only kidnapping but helping people according to their mood. They were never caught, always changing their spots to help and harm people. No one nor ever knew what happened with the people they kidnapped, nor who was kidnapping the people.
