Greetings, Yousafharoonkhan. The Finish The Story Contest and hashtag is one where only original content is accepted. As your post does not fulfill the requirements of participation (it is a direct copy & paste of Ronald Roy's story and it does not use the prompt as inspiration) this is an invalid entry.

Though you did state the story is from "A Thousand Pails of Water" by Ronald Roy, our community does not encourage or reward plagiarism. I would suggest that if you would like to share pieces in your posts that are written by others in the future that, on top of stating who the author is (which I do appreciate your doing so), you only quote a small portion of it and then provide your own thoughts and feelings regarding the piece. This way you will avoid receiving negative feedback (and downvotes) from the community. Also you'll be granting the author the respect of not directly reproducing their property for financial gain.

I would like to request that you remove the 'finishthestory' tag from your post as it violates the values and spirit of our community.

We hope to see you participate in future editions of @bananafish's Finish The Story Contest with a piece that comes from your creativity. Each edition has an uncompleted story written by an author from the Steem blockchain. (This prompt is the intellectual property of said author and they retain full rights to the material that they created.)

Anyone wishing to participate in the contest has the permission to quote the story beginning (with proper accreditation to its author) and to offer their own original ending as a submission.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I hope that you enjoy your day.

Sincerely,
@brisby
