Well kitty I agree about to few topics.....However all I can think is illustrating a story for you using smileys.......
*dreamy music...*
"One day there was a smiley named Bob

"
"Bob was a happy smiley

untill one day
the mean guy next door 
came and burned Bobs house down"
"Bob was very sad because he had no money to build a new house

"
"So Bob became a homeless person

"
"Bob was bad at begging so instead of asking for money he just stood in the middle of the street and cried

"
"Eventually Bob

became so well known in the city people would give him money every morning

"
"So Bob

had enough money to buy a new house..and some new sunglasses

"
"Bob went back to where his old house was and had to make a decision

"
"He FINALLY decided to buy a flame thrower

"
Now you may ask why he bought that instead of a new house. Ok, if you did ask that then shut up and read the rest of the story...
"Bob

went over to
the mean guy next door 
"
"He

wiped out his trusty flame thrower and BURNED down
the mean guy not so next door's house"
"
The mean guy next door was very sad

"
THE END!!!
***Thunderous applause***
