Get prepared, we will be moving down straight away to John's house. Both took their shower, dressed up, got out of the street in search of a taxi that will carry them to John's house they found none,  they waited till it was 9:30am in the morning. Luckily they found one.            Oh! Thank God we found one Max said            Taxi, stop as Max waved with his hands            The taxi man stopped and asked them             Where are you both going to, Max replied            We going to the next street, just 3kilometers             From here.            Alright enter, Max and Fred entered and the taxi            Drove off. Fred engaged into discussion, with the taxi driver, what could be the reason why we could not get a taxi so fast, we stood here up to an hour waiting for a taxi, what happened? The taxi man began to explain to them what was the cause of their delay in getting a taxi.            Yesterday night, been monday, five notorious criminals attacked a nearby super market here and stole people's goods and money, they caused a road block, when the police came, those five notorious criminals opened fire on them, which the police did the same, two criminals was killed at a spot said the taxi driver.            This is the reward people get when they don't want to invest their lives into something meaningful to help their life and destiny, they die like chickens. Life is not easy, said the taxi driver, it takes hard work and determination to make it in life. Iam graduate i finished university but there was no Job, i searched for work different places and found none, instead of stealing i decided to engage to a taxi business.           By the special grace of God, through this taxi business           I have my own house           Three children  and they are all into school           One will be graduating from secondary school by next month           There is always food on the table for them. See friends there is nothing you want to achieve in this life that you cannot achieve through hard work and determination, the taxi man said. Max said to the taxi man, forget that thing every one has what works works for them, refusing to heed to the advice of the taxi driver, he was still insisting on the bank robbery.           Finally they arrived the street of John's house, taxi stop max commanded and the taxi man stopped max and fred came down from the car, how much is your money? Max said, just three dollars the taxi driver said, Max put his hand into his back pocket and brought out three dollars and handed it over to the taxi driver, and the man left with his car.           John's house is very close to the street where the taxi man stopped them. As they where on their way to John's house having entered his street, Fred said to Max, did you hear what the taxi driver said, i heard everything, Max said. Anything the matter he asked, no nothing is wrong. Don't you think we should also do the same thing the taxi man did Fred said to Max. Leave that thing my friend, there are things that works, and things that doesn't work, Max said.              Tonight we are hitting that bank.
