Not once, not twice, not thrice, did Danny hear the sound, but... It didn't take long, not too long, when Danny discovered where the sound that had taken hold of his ear was coming from. At first, he was unsure as he was very sure he had called a professional to fix things up nicely some days ago. He had spent so much on it that he grimaced.
With a frown, Danny struggled to stand up from the comfort of his bed with his tired limbs as he walked (almost crawled) to the horror that bestowed him. He almost choked on his spit as he held his heart in misery.
No, no, no, this is wrong! He let out in plain misery.
With his tired limbs now energized due to what he saw, Danny quickly got buckets to fix under the sink after checking the clock to see that it was far from morning.
He almost screamed out again, crying deeply as he wondered why fate decided to be cruel to him. He had just lost his job some days ago and he has been on a search for a good job ever since. Going from one place to another to find a place he could work but all to no avail. And now, this happens.
He knew deep down he had no money to waste on another plumber, so he decided to look up something related to fixing pipes online and jotting down everything he would need.
After that, he cleaned up the water that made him gasp earlier when he got to the kitchen as he awaited morning in great anticipation.
Morning came in, and after some minutes, Danny arose, brushed his teeth, and took his bath before hitting the road. He waved a taxi as the morning sun shone on him. He got in and stated his destination, which didn't take too long to get.
On getting to the shop, he started shopping everything listed on his list, which included hoses, hardware accessories, faucets, and plumber gum to go.
After getting all that he needed, he joined the queue as he awaited his turn. It was right then that Danny heard a single yet promising word that would forever change his career. He left the queue and approached the two gentlemen who spoke with smile filled faces about a fest, which was ongoing.
"Hello, I am Danny. I was standing over there and heard what you both were saying. I am interested in your conversation if you don't mind". Danny said with a smile.
One of the gentlemen looked at Danny and gave him a smile, but first he requested Danny pay what he bought so that they could go to a diner to discuss.
Danny was happy and paid up what he got as the men brought the things that brought them into the shop.
And, after paying, the trio walked to the diner closest to the store as they ordered, and the men started explaining all to Danny. Danny told them of what he was going through, and one of the men patted him as they gave Danny the link to the blockchain, which Danny had heard earlier.
He was told what to do as the men carefully explained things to him as possibly as they could. After Danny opened the account, the two men followed him and told him they would await his first post before they exchanged contacts with him and left.
When Danny got home, he took a picture of the things he got. And he started working on the kitchen bowl and all while watching a video from YouTube to help. And when he finished his plumbing work, he washed himself up again before quietly sitting in his bedroom as he made more research on the blockchain just like the men had told him.
And, right then, Danny began writing about himself and how he got to know about the Hive blockchain. He tagged the two men, proofread his work, added images, and the right tags before he pressed the publish button.... and that button gave Danny more life than he expected.
With a smile, Danny spread the word of Hive to his friends with detailed explanations, and together, they found connection, love, and financial stability.

It reminded me of home and everything that surrounds it.
Still yours truly,
