a little bit of nothing

A summer party was thrown one beautiful, sunny day. A large, cool glass of lemonade was given to each guest upon arrival. All talked, laughed and shared one another’s company. As the glasses were emptied, the guests slowly left, and soon there was no one left in the yard. The streamers and banners gently wafted in the breeze, and darkness began to descend. No one ever noticed the large pitcher of lemonade on the table, brimming with the sweet juice. No one ever noticed it.
