RE: ADSactly Short Stories - The Gods Never Leave Us Empty-Handed
Amanze was very sneaky when he used the ship captain to get to Alaska 😆. And then from Alaska to Maryland. I could completely relate to Amanze since I immigrated to US when I was 23 years old. It’s always stays in back of your mind.
When he got back to his country it was obvious to me the police set him up, at least that what I though. It must had been tough for him at that time to make this choice.
”For everything you win, there is something lost, and for everything you lost, there is something won.”
True!
Wow! Has this really happened? Did Amanze Jnr die just because of Chef’s choice not to let the mouse go free? Well I guess at the end he got the car back, but what a cost. His son who was the real owner of this car? Couldn’t Amanze Jnr just tell the truth?
Thank you so much for reading the story. I was getting tired of people thinking that this was a religious story of some sort. Amanze Jnr did not know to what lengths his father would go to find the car. It was really his car but he brought it home only to make an impression then sell it when he was ready to return. But his father's claim that it was a gift meant for him made Amanze Jnr to capitulate to his father's wishes against all odds. But along the line, he realized that with the laxity of the law enforcement agencies, he could spin a story about the car having been stolen, keep it hidden and sell it later and return to the US.
Unfortunately, his father went to the magician who had to do the chief's wish against all warnings. The magic worked. Amanze returned the car and died in his father's home.
I appreciate your comment. All the best to you.
