Eunice And Elaine’s
Fortune
One day, 2 young men from
a faraway country came to their small town to set up a business. The 2 young men
were best friends and sworn brothers. The names of the 2 young men were called
Eugene and Calvin. Eugene was older so he was the older brother and since
Calvin was younger he was the younger one.
One cold and rainy
morning, the 2 inseparable sisters went into town to do some shopping.
Meanwhile, the 2 sworn brothers were hiking in the woods, taking a break from
their intensive business. Suddenly, thunder rocked the whole town and it began
to rain cat and dogs. As they had forgotten to bring their raincoats along,
they had to find somewhere for shelter. They started looking everywhere but
still could not find any shelter. Desperate, they went down the hill and happened
to chance upon Eunice’s and Elaine’s empty house.
Creeping stealthily to the
front door, the two brothers knocked on the door and no one answered, even
after several knocks. They wanted to just open the door and get in, but since
they were honest men, they did not want the owners to assume that they were
thieves. So they decided to leave and look for another house to find shelter.
On Eugene’s and Calvin’s
long and tedious way down the hillside, they passed by 2 beautiful and young
ladies, who were actually Eunice and Elaine. Eunice and Elaine were shopping at
the market when it started to rain. Since the rain and the wind were very
strong, since they brought their umbrellas along, they did not want to get
drenched, so they came back up the hillside to get home.
Eunice and Elaine looked
at the 2 young men curiously. Since the 2 young men were drenched, they looked
like 2 wet chickens. They looked very funny and hilarious. However Eunice and
Elaine were very kindhearted and helpful ladies. So when they saw that the 2 young
men were drenched from head to toe and bedraggled, they decided to help them.
When
the 2 young men left, Eunice and Elaine went back to the living room of their
house. Just as Eunice was about to put some logs into the fireplace, she
spotted a small cloth bag on the coffee table. She called Elaine over and
opened the bag.

Dear ladies,
Thank you
for your help. We are very grateful for it. There are some gold and silver
coins inside the cloth bag. That is our repayment for the help that you
gave us. Please accept them.

Calvin

Eunice
and Elaine looked at each other with big smiles on each of their faces. Looks
like help is kindly rewarded!
