Better Than Gold

Nick was a young man who was handsome, got stuck in a strange basement transom. When trainer offered gold to be free, his wife told- “NO! THE VIEW'S WORTH MORE THAN THE RANSOM!" *How I feel about my handsome hubby. I love all his views…* Transom- A strengthening crossbar, in particular one set above above a door or hanging from the ceiling.
