A Little Elbow Grease
Laura ran out of money to furnish her new home and was discouraged.
Driving home one day, she saw an old writing desk sitting on the curb.
It was scarred and dirty, but it was free, so Laura took a chance.
Washing, sanding, and a few coats of stain worked miracles.
For the price of elbow grease and imagination, she had a new treasure.
