Travis and Paul were best friends and in the ninth grade. They didn’t like anything about school except the girls and the baseball. They were both on the junior high baseball team. Both wanted to be major league baseball players when they grew up.
On Thursday, baseball practice lasted for two hours after school. After practice, Travis and Paul were hungry and thirsty. Between them, they had $2.05. There was a small grocery store three blocks from the school.
“What can we buy for only $2?” asked Travis.
“We could split a soda and a candy bar,” replied Paul.
“That’s going to be hard to do, since I like orange soda and you like root beer,” said Travis. “And I hate peanuts in candy bars and you love them,” said Paul.
As they approached the store, they were still thinking about their problem. One solution, of course, was for one of them to pick the soda and the other to pick the candy bar. The problem with that solution would be that one of them would still be thirsty and the other would still be hungry.
“Wait a minute,” said Paul. “I’ve got an idea.” They stopped, and Paul told Travis his idea.
Mr. Cobb was the store owner. He had no use for kids. They were little people with little money. His eyes narrowed as he saw the boys approaching the store.
After they entered the store, Travis walked over to the big cooler that was filled with ice and sodas. Paul walked over to the candy bar section.
“Mr. Cobb, you don’t have any orange soda,” Travis said.
“Yes, I do. Just dig a little. You’ll find one.”
Travis dug for a minute.
“I still can’t find one.”
“Are you blind? I’ll be right there.”
Mr. Cobb started digging through the ice. Paul immediately put two candy bars into his trousers’ baggy pockets. He patted the pockets down a little bit.
“Look! Orange soda! What did I tell you?”
“Thank you, sir,” Travis said.
As Travis was paying for the orange soda and the root beer, Mr. Cobb looked at Paul.
“You’re not buying anything?”
“No, sir. We just wanted some sodas.”
“Then why were you looking at the candy bars?”
“Just to see if you got any new brands, sir.” Mr. Cobb’s narrow eyes got narrower as they moved slowly from Paul’s eyes to his shirt, to his pants, and to his shoes.
“If I ever catch you stealing from me, I’ll chop off your hands, you hear me?” For emphasis, Mr. Cobb reached down beneath the countertop and pulled out a butcher knife, sharp and shiny.
Both boys were startled. They ran out of the store.
“Come back here. You forgot your change!” Mr. Cobb yelled at them.
He was short, fat, and arrogant. He was the plant manager, the supervisor, the boss! His name was Tom. He relished every minute of his power. He yelled at the employees. He called them names. He smoked daily, even though it was against the law to smoke in the workplace. He didn’t care. As the license plate on his car said, he was The Boss.
California is an “at will” state. That means that your employer can let you go for no reason or almost any reason . You can take your firing to court if it involves discrimination—sexism, racism, or ageism. However, even if you were discriminated against, proving it in court is difficult.
Tom considered himself a macho man. He did not know that his employees considered him a jerk. They made fun of him behind his back. They called him Tommy Troll because he was short and mean and had no manners. Never once had anyone heard Tom use the words Please, Thank You, Excuse Me, or I’m Sorry.
Everyone wanted to attend his funeral. But that wasn’t going to happen soon. After his last physical, he presented his blood test report at a weekly staff meeting. Every item on that report was within the acceptable range. “The doctor said I'll live to be 100,” he said proudly, immediately depressing most of the employees.
Tom played golf every Sunday with some other supervisors. He was a bad golfer, but he thought he was good. He liked to joke around and make fun of other golfers. On the first tee last Sunday, Tom joked about a golfer who had just teed off: “Look at that guy. He swings like a girl.” Tom laughed heartily at his own joke. His buddies were silent.
“What did you say?” asked the golfer angrily. He had overheard Tom’s remark. He was a mean-looking man.
“Uh, nothing,” Tom said.
“Yes, you did. You said I swing like a girl. Now I’ve got something to say. You apologize like a good little girl, or I’ll give you a fresh knuckle sandwich.”
In front of his golf buddies, Tom meekly apologized. After only nine holes, during which Tom was unusually quiet, he excused himself and went home. He said he had a headache. But his friends thought it was shame that was eating at him. The next day, Tom was still upset. He told Bill to report to his office. He had never liked Bill. He always wondered why he had hired him in the first place.
“I’m letting you go. I don’t need you here. Your last day is Friday.“
Bill wasn’t surprised. Saying nothing, he spat on Tom’s desk and walked out.

A scholar who used to live in a cold region took a trip to a place of tropical weather. He stayed in the house all day because it was too hot to go out. “Phew. It is so hot. I can't even go outside.”
At night, people came out from their houses to get fresh air. The scholar also went out of his house and looked around here and there. “There are a lot of people here. Now I feel better. But how come the house across the street is so quiet?”
“Music flows from the house, and such beautiful flowers are in the house. There must be a pretty woman living in that house. ”Then, one evening.
“That house is quiet again. The only thing that moves in the house is my shadow.” The scholar acted as if he was talking to his own shadow.
Suddenly, his shadow on the house went into the inside the house. The scholar was shocked. Then, the next day. “How can I lose my own shadow? People will laugh at me. Phew. What am I going to do? I feel awful. What am I going to do now?”
In a tropical region, everything grew really fast. Fortunately, the scholar's shadow grew a lot in a week.
Then, one evening. Someone visited the scholar. “Who is it? Please come in.” A well-dressed gentleman came into his house. “Excuse me, but have we meet before?” The gentleman answered. “Don't you recognize me? Well, I guess you've never imagined that I would show up in front of you with this kind of look. I have been enjoying my own life very much since I left you.” “Then, you must be.” “That's right! I am your shadow.” “How amazing! How can this happen? And how are you doing?”
“I will tell you everything. But promise me one thing before I tell my story. Don't you ever tell anyone that I used to be your shadow.” “I promise!”
“I went into the house across the street and met a Goddess. I learned a lot of things while I was staying there with her. Then, she allowed me to live my own life all by myself. Sometimes I gave severe punishments to bad people. People always welcomed me wherever I was. They just loved me.” “Really? That's amazing! How can this happen?” “I've to go now. See you next time.”
A few years later, the shadow visited the scholar again. The scholar was writing a book, but he was so sad because no one read his book. He felt tired of writing. “You look very exhausted.” “No one can understand my book.” “You have to take a rest. Let's go to a spa. I will pay for the trip for you. Instead, you should be my shadow.” “Oh god! Do I really have to be your shadow?” After long thinking about the shadow's suggestion, the scholar decided to go on the trip and be a shadow.
There were lots of people in the spa, and a princess was one of them. The princess saw the shadow and thought, “He is so nice. I want to go out with him.”
She met the shadow. She liked him very much because he knew everything. The shadow pointed to the scholar and said, “He is my shadow. If you want to know about something, please ask him.” “You look so smart.”
The princess decided to get married to the shadow.
The shadow met the scholar and said, “I am going to marry the princess. You can come to the castle and live with us. But you have to be my shadow and have to live under my feet forever.” “No, that doesn't make any sense. You are MY shadow.”
The shadow put the scholar in prison, and then he told the princess. “My shadow is out of his mind. He kept insisting that I am his shadow. There seems to be no chance of his recovery. I will help him to disappear quietly.” “Yes, you need to help him.”
The princess and the shadow finally got married. But the scholar died in prison.
There once was a rich feudal lord. He and his wife had a big farm. They wished everyone else would live as happily as they did. On one Christmas Eve, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree stood in their big hall, and firewood was burning vigorously. The couple invited all the poor children and their parents of the country to their house.
Traditional Christmas meals were served to everyone, and people went back to their homes and talked about the dinner and the gifts. Kersten and Ole, who were working in a garden, received the gifts for their children and went back home. “Both masters are very kind, but that's because they are rich. They are enjoying themselves.”
“We have only four suits of clothes. Why didn't they give anything to Hans? Maybe it's because Hans is a cripple, so they forgot him.” Hans was a very active and smart boy, but he had to stay in bed for five years because of his weak legs. “Oh, but I received a book for Hans” Hans was so happy because of the book. The thick fairy tale book had a lot to read and to think about deeply.
Kersten and Ole were always complaining because they were always busy. “Some people have both happiness and wealth at the same time, but for other people, the only thing they have is poverty. Why do we have to suffer so much because of Adam and Eve? If we were Adam and Eve, we would not behave like them.” “You would do same as they did. This book can tell you why.”
“What did the book say?” Hans read a story to his parents loudly. 'One woodcutter couple always complained that their unhappiness began because of Adam and Eve. At that time, a King was riding a horse and heard them and said, “Come to my palace with me. You can live as luxuriously as I can. You have seven kinds of wonderful dishes and deserts at every meal.”
“Never touch the plate covered with a lid in the middle of the table. As soon as you touch the plate, your peaceful and luxurious life will be over.” The woodcutter couple lived luxuriously after that, but soon they became curious what was on the plate under the lid. After a while, they uncovered the lid of the plate.
“That's it. Now go back where you came from. Do not blame Adam and Eve any more. You have the same amount of curiosity as they did, and besides you cannot appreciate God's grace and gifts.” Hans' parents were surprised by the story about the woodcutter couple, and they told Hans to read the same story every night.
One night, Hans read his parents a story about a man who does not know both sadness and dissatisfaction. 'A long time ago, a King became ill, and there was only one cure the underwear of a man who never knew both sadness and dissatisfaction. His subjects visited every king and nobleman of the world searching for the cure, but they could not find it.'
One day, a swineherd was sitting next to a ditch said, “I don't know anything about sadness and dissatisfaction. I have always have been living my life happily.” “Give me your underwear. We will give you half of our kingdom in exchange for that.” Even though the subjects tried to persuade him, the swineherd did not have underwear to give to the subject of the King. Hans' parents laughed loudly as if they had not laughed for a long time.
“What are you so happy about? It's been a long time since I saw you smiling.” “Hans read a story about a man who does not know about sadness and dissatisfaction. He is too poor to have any underwear. Try to imagine him! Everyone has his own burden to carry by himself. But if you listen to other people's stories, you will feel your burden of life is much lighter than before.”
“Where did you get this book?” “One year ago at the Christmas party, the mistress gave us as a gift. At that time, we wanted to have underwear as a gift rather than a book. But this book is like magic. It gives us the answers to what we always were curious about.” After that day, the schoolmaster visited Hans, who always stays in his bed in the afternoons, gave him a lot of knowledge that children at school could learn.
The schoolmaster got invited to the feudal lord's mansion and had a meal with them. In the middle of dinner, he told them the book that they had given to Hans was such a blessed gift for the family. The mistress gave some silver coins to the schoolmaster, and asked him to give them to Hans. Hans' parents were very happy to get the silver coins. “Crippled Hans brings us blessings.”
A few days later, the mistress herself visited Hans with a basket of delicious bread, fruit and juice, and a cage with a black bird. Hans was so happy for the gift, but his parents were not. “Rich people cannot think. If Hans cannot take care of the bird, we have to do the troublesome work. In the end, a cat will eat the bird anyway.”
A cat often visited the room, but it seemed that it was not interested in the black bird. One afternoon, when Hans was reading the book, the cat was staring at the bird in the cage above a dresser. The cat jumped up to the window frame next to the cage in a breath. Hans worried about the bird, and he tried to throw his fairy tale book at the cat, but it did not reach the cat.
Hans wielded a bedcover, but it was a vain effort. The cat jumped up to the dresser and dropped the cage to the ground. At the same time, Hans suddenly leaped to his feet from his bed, picked up the cage and shooed the cat away. Hans saw himself holding the cage in his hand. He realized what happened to him and ran out to the road.
“I can walk. Now I can walk!” On that day, Hans' family had a big party. The feudal lord and his wife were happy as if their own son could walk again. “You have a good mind, God bless you always.” Hans went to a school in Copenhagen because he was so smart, and he could understand so well what he read. His parents were sad that they could not live with their son, but they were very happy whenever they got a letter with happy news from him.
“What happened to Hans is proof that God does not forget poor children.” “What happened to Hans is such a miracle. Is it like one of the stories which Hans used to tell us?” Hans' parents held each other's hands and looked at each other piously.
The Mermaid Princess
In the deep, sea palace, there lived a mermaid princess. Whenever she sang a song with her beautiful voice, everyone envied her. However, the mermaid princess wanted to go to the outside world.
“I would like to hear the beautiful sound of birds. ”The king promised her. “When you turn 15 years old, you can go and see the life above the sea.” “Oh, I can't wait!
Finally, it was the mermaid princess' 15th birthday. She went up to the sea. The princess saw a great ship. And she saw a handsome prince standing on the ship. The princess fell in love with him at first sight.
However, as thunder and lightning struck, the ship sank on its side. The prince lost his consciousness and fell deep into the sea. ”Oh, no! The prince fell into the water. Let me hurry and save him.“
The princess saved the prince and laid him on the sand. The princess took care of him all night. When the prince opened his eyes, the mermaid princess hid from him. She thought he might get scared by her tail. Just then, a princess from a neighbor land came out to see the sea and she saw the prince.
The princess watched from a far the prince who always came out to the sea at night. The princess was very sad. She wanted to become a human so that she could be with the prince.
She asked the witch. ”Okay, I will make you into a human, but you must give me your beautiful voice. If the prince marries someone else, you will become a water bubble. You must marry the prince.“
On the sand, she drank the medicine that the witch had given her. With the big sudden pain, she turned into a human. Just then, the prince who came out to the sea saw the princess.
The prince took the princess who could not speak, to his palace. Although she could not speak, she was happy to be living near the prince. The prince was going to be married to a princess from a neighbor land.
”I will be marrying the princess that saved my life.“ 'I am the one that saved your life.' But, her voice could not be heard.
At night, the mermaid princess' older sisters came up to the sea. They gave the mermaid princess a knife and said, ”If you stab the prince with this knife, you can be a mermaid again. If you don't, you will become a water bubble.“
On the night of the wedding, the mermaid princess was going to stab the sleeping prince with the knife. But, she could not kill the loving prince. ”It's best that I just turn into a water bubble. “When morning came, the mermaid turned into a water bubble and went up to heaven.
A long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this
One day, one of the subjects found out the couple's worry and told them, ”Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm, and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.“
”Is it true? Where can I find that charm?“ The prince asked him joyfully. ”There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.“
The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, ”Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.“
The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife of one town. They went to visit the knight. ”Are you really happy like the rumor?“ Then the knight answered. ”Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.“
They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. ”Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.“
They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world. One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field.
The shepherd was playing a flute and driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. As soon as the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly. He kissed and embraced each of them by turns. They sat in a circle and had lunch after the wife had prepared it.
The prince couple watched for a while and approached them. ”Excuse me. You look so happy!“ The shepherd smiled and said, ”Sure, any king or queen can never be happier than we are.“
The prince couple thought that they finally found what they were looking for. ”I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?“ The prince couple asked them very politely, but the shepherd couple felt confused and said, ”Of course we would like to help you, but we don't wear any underwear.“
In the end, the couple set out on their journey again with nothing. Finally they came back to their home because they were so tired, and because they couldn't find the magic charm too. As soon as they came back to their country, they visited the old man.
The prince told their story to the old man and asked him. ”Why did you make us suffer from the long trip for a charm which doesn't even exist?“ The old man smiled and said, ”Well, do you really think your trip was a vain effort? Think about it carefully. While you were traveling around, you learned many things about how other people live, didn't you?“
The prince thought to himself for a while and said, ”Ah, now I understand. You mean that true happiness is up to yourself.“ The prince's wife smiled and nodded her head. The happy couple held their hands and looked in each other's eyes.
The old man said as he watched them. ”The true magic charm that you are searching for is in your mind. Keep it carefully from now on. Then, you'll never be unhappy with whatever comes your way."
