THE PROFITS

Chapter Two : John visits the profits

The next morning

James woke up before sunrise to plant his seeds. It was a very hard work, but he had to grow pea-w**d each day to feed his hungry family.

Later that evening, John visited the Profits. He thought they would be tired after a hard day's work, but found them singing and dancing.

“John! It's so nice to see you! Please join us in our games.”

“Oh, James, ” said John. An old man like me shouldn't be jumping around that much.”

“How old are you John?” asked James.

“Im 23 years old. I'll probably die in a few years because my body is worn out from working so hard in my field growing pea-w**d. How old are you, James?”

“I am 92 years old.”

John was shocked! “How could James look so young?” He asked himself. He smiled and thanked the profits for the fun and games, but went home puzzled.

“Hey, honey are you okay?” asked Mary.

“Yes, I am love.” Why do you ask?

You look confused, did something happen at the profits?

No, no, not at all. Everything is fine.

Really? You know you can talk to me right?

Yes, I know. Nothing happened at the profits. But- -

But what?

Hmmm. Have you ever seen a man of 92 years looking so young like a man of 20 years?

Huh? Now I'm confused.

You see. That's what I was thinking about, so you don't have to worry. Okay?

Okay. So shall we go to bed now?

Of course, after you my lady.

Ha ha. Good night,sweetheart.

Good night,love.

John went to bed with his thoughts on James being 92 years old and looking so young.
