Standing outside the 5 and Dime Store downtown, watching all the townspeople going about their daily routine of shopping, walking, and hanging out with friends. Facing the road, I turn slightly to the left just in time to see an aged van I've never seen before. It pulled up to a parking spot on the side of the road. Two men got out.. one older guy and a young guy. Father & son maybe? Hmm, don't know yet. I greeted them and asked if they were just passing through. The older guy greeted me and said, "yes, we are just passing through, but we will be here for a week. My name is Clyde, he said." .............
MelissaMarie: Can you recommend somewhere for us to stay? Oh! This is my son Tony by the way. We have been sleeping in the van but we would like to get a bath with hot water and sleep in a comfortable bed. Not too expensive of course!
Mousetrap: nice to meet you Clyde and Tony. Yes, there is a bed and breakfast just three blocks from here. Very reasonable prices. I'm sure you will like it there."Oh yes,"said Clyde. "I am most positive that we will enjoy our stay here. We will be trying to earn some extra money while we are here. We have a "syrup" that cures just about anything. We sell it at a very cheap price."
