Maybe Not.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had to get up very early to go to work before she attended to her studies. Her friends looked upon her with pity. "That's the worst." They consoled her.
"Maybe," the girl replied.

The next morning as she was getting up, she saw, since what had been the longest time, the sun rising and began walking. She was stopped short, having missed the changing crosswalk sign by only a few steps. "Such a shame," a passerby noted.
"Maybe," she replied.

Looking down, she saw a quarter which she picked up and she continued walking, glancing to the ground more carefully the rest of the way.
Almost to her work building, she spied a discarded soda can. The girl stopped and picked up can. Before she could place it into the recycle bin she emptied the contents onto the ground and some splashed back onto her shoes and jeans. "How terrible," a stranger comment.
"Maybe," the girl said.

She walked into the building and called for someone to hold the elevator. It closed in front of her nose. "How rude!" another waiting student exclaimed at their misfortune.
"Maybe," answered the girl.

Taking the steps two at a time up seven flights of stairs, the girl felt her body thanking her for needed movement and her heart pounded happily. She opened the door to her office and called a greeting to a woman whom she worked with but did not often speak to. The woman smiled and told her it was her birthday. She offered the girl a cupcake. The girl took it and thanked her. Telling her friends, they congratulated her on her good fortune.
"Maybe," she said.
