At the Pawn Shop

There's nothing worse than losing your pride by borrowing money when your wallet is very dry, and like a thirsty horse that can't run for another mile, you'll regret it for not having saved enough money to survive! I took my gold watch to the Pawn Shop, and the young man who was six feet tall stared at it and exclaimed with a hiccup, " It's worth a lot of money, pal! " " No, I don't want to sell it right now, I just need some quick cash to pay parking tickets to avoid a fee! " I assured him with ample honesty, but the red-head fellow looked at me and said earnestly, " It''s a ninety day loan...after that there's a penalty!" " I'll pay on time !" I promised him as I walked out of the pawn Shop with a wallet full of cash...wasn't I happy to have kept my Rolex watch?
