Afternoon, outskirt of town.
Theo was walking toward the town, while carrying the black brown bear on his shoulder. He was nearing the town, when one of the guard stop him," hey stop, where do you think you are going, carrying such big, without any compensation," the guard smirked and said to Theo.
Theo, who was never ask to compensate anything from the guards, while entering and going out of the town, was confused, so he put down the Bear and was ready to speak, when one the guard spoke," bring that boy here, as well the beast," it was the chief of the security guard.
Theo went to the chief carrying the beast, " boy where did you get such big hunt," the chief guard said in shock, he never question the strength of Theo for carrying the beast, as most people learn body tempering to carry out their duty more efficiently, but was shock because to hunt such beast you need expert hunters.
"chief Lan, i saw this bear dead, near the stream, i guess he was kill by someone else, so i pick it up to sell," Theo replied, with a stern face. He knew he was in trouble, so he didn't tell him about his strength, as it might bring trouble in future. Chief Lan look at Theo and the beast, sighs, " yeah, i knew how can i aspect a 12 year thin boy to kill the beast, but you have fee for the beast, or it might be unfair for others" and said to Theo.
Theo knew merchants who come to the town have to give for their carriage and stuff, but he wasn't a merchant, till then he have to pay, he was bit confused, but he soon understand, that's how world run an it run around money, how many good things or knew people around, still money rules. He learn one the biggest lesson, which might help in the future.
But Theo wasn't your average boy, he learn one the skill, that almost everyone tried to learn, but most failed, bargaining. Anyone can bargain, but most people fail in gaining upper hand. Theo who was always tight on money learn this skill in other to live and save money. so Theo replied, " chief Lan i don't have any money left, i used it all. how about this, i will deliver food for you free for 3 days,". Chief Lan is one the daily customer he used to deliver food for, as he was the husband of the owner of the restaurant he usually it.
After hearing what Theo said, chief feel complicated whether to let him go or not, still he replied," boy, can't you always bargain with me, Each time you robbed money from me, this time i won't lose. 1 month or we are done,".
"4 days", Theo replied
"3 weeks",
"5 days",
"2 weeks"
It went like this for while until it was settled on 1 weeks, feeling little dejected and with reluctance he let Theo went inside. When Theo went inside of the town, one of the guard who knew Theo came to chief Lan and seeing his dejected mood, he said, " Chief Lan you lose in bargaining again didn't you"
Chief Lan was little dejected, as his mood was down, after losing the bargaining game with Theo again, cause Theo used to bargain to him about his payment everyday, so when he heard the guard word, he look up, he said," why are you lazing around, i guess i am too lenient with you, so that's why i have decided that you do extra hour duty than the rest of people,".
After hearing that, the guard laugh and said," why do you always take your anger on us, after losing the bargain", after saying that the guard run away, fearing for any future punishment.
