Valentines Day

Clarence the Candy maker rubbed his hands gleefully. In two days, he would introduce the world to a whole new kind of Valentine's Day candy that would revolutionize the whole candy business. Clarence wasn't in any ways a successful candy maker; he was always coming up with very odd candies that no one enjoyed at all. But this Valentine’s Day it was all going to change. Clarence was finally going to create a candy so delicious and perfect that everyone would love it and buy it this Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately for Clarence though, Valentine’s Day was only two days away and he hadn't come up with any ideas yet. Well actually he had a few ideas but they were all very bad and ended in a disaster. Even though Clarence was having little to no luck he didn’t give up. After a few more bad ideas Clarence was starting to get disgruntled. Clarence desperately wanted to just give up but something in him would let him give up. Then it suddenly it came to Clarence. A perfect idea! Clarence got right to work and within a half an hour he had a prototype candy. It was a red colored sugary candy. Clarence than tried the candy and realized that he had created a revolutionary new candy. It was remarkably delicious and left you wanting more of the candy. Clarence than got to work putting them into a heart mold and making thousands more. He made many different flavors or them as well, each with their own color. By 12:30 A.M. Clarence had already made thousands of the little candies and was ready to release them to the world. The next day when Clarence opened his shop not that many people were there. It looked as if Clarence had failed yet again. But around 2:00 people started to flock to Clarence's candy shop. Word had spread about how delicious the candy hearts were and everybody wanted some. Clarence was overjoyed. He had finally made a candy that was a success and that everybody loved. Then one customer came up to Clarence and asked him a question. The customer said; "These candies are delicious, but I must know, what are they called?" This stumped Clarence. For a second he had known idea what to call them then finally it came to him, he would name the candy after his last name. Clarence responded to the customer with a very concise answer, he said; "They are called...Branch's Candy Hearts."
