A Simple, Honest Story

The stranger lived by eating lizards and drinking rainwater captured in rusty buckets.  Nobody understood why he lived in such a way.

Speculations about the stranger abounded in the small, dry town nearby.  Some said he lost millions to a crooked business partner.  Others said he murdered a man on the East Coast and was hiding from the law.

The locals were wrong about the stranger.  He had neither lost millions nor murdered a man on the East Coast.

The stranger was simply weird and he liked the taste of lizards.
