A friend in need.

This is a story that happened long ago with Mr. Burton. One day a man,who was his namesake, came to him and asked for a job, as he was down and out.

The namesake had to do this to get a job. He hesitated for a moment because he wasn’t in condition: he drank too much and ruined his health. But then he accepted his offer. When Mr.Burton appeared at the appointed time at the creek, his namesake was not there. He drowned. This story caused in me mixed feelings.
