Ooops!

Chris was not happy at all, he sat in the Irish pub blindly staring at the wooden table and slowly drinking his beer. His face could be read like a book. 
His friend, Nick, noticed him and came over to say hi, but realized his friend was down.
"What happened?" he asked. 
"Nothing!" Chris replied.
Nick tried to make him cheer up, but it was impossible and he left him alone.

***

A few months later they met again. Chris was still looking pale. Nick persuaded him to come over to his house this time. When they arrived home, Nick's wife was cooking dinner. It smelled so good they sat down as soon as possible.

They enjoyed with delicious food talked about their lives. Nick still wondered why his friend was so upset?

Eventually, he told them the story that was love. He had been really enjoying life. He had thought that there was a special relationship between a girl and him. However, they had only spent two passionate months together. 

Then Chris fell silent, Nick and his wife looked at him with curiosity.

In the end he agreed to talk. He couldn't decide from where he start and said that one day his girlfriend farted. 

Another moment of silence followed, before Nick and his wife burst out laughing.

Chris left straightaway. He knew that nobody could understand him. He can't solve the problem in his mind either.

***

A while later, he explained what happened. After the girl farted she had started to cry and explained that they couldn't be together anymore, that because of te fart things would be very awkward between them and their love was going to die. She loved him a lot and left him because of this.

Nick and his wife were sad and would have liked to help but unfortunately it was impossibble because the girl had already left the country.

***

Chris got older and older and almost forget the girl, life was life and he enjoyed it and lived more wisely.
One day, many years later, he met a woman who was very beautiful for her age. Something about her was very familiar. The woman had already recognised him and introduced herself. They laughed and laughed together about how stupid they had made their lives.

Yes love is love, even after so long. She admitted her mistake and became a supporter of farts. They even decided to make their story public and established an association called "The Freedom to Fart!"
