Life is confusing. I have experienced that many times. So when I saw the story today: Henry Red Chief, I saw how a masterplan to get big money turned in a huge catastrophe.
In this story, two men, Bill and Sam, needing money, decide to kidnap a boy of the rich banker of Summit. But they soon found out how naughty this boy Jimmy, or Red Chief. We see how he made Bill be his horse and so on. When the two men sent a letter to the kidnapped boy’s Father asking for $1,500, they are pleased. But when the Father sent a messenger to the two men for the response to the letter, he counters it, saying. You give me my boy and pay me 150$. How surprising this is. He gets the boy and money, instead of paying money himself. By now, Bill is driven crazy because of the boy’s ” games ” and begged Sam to agree. Sam agreed and they paid the father and gave the child.
From this story, we see how people found a great blueprint to success, and immediately sent it into action, without a second thought. From the result we saw from this story, when we do this, we instead of striking gold, lose some of what we have already. When these two men, put their plan into action without a second thought. We see that they received a negative effect, which was giving back the boy and paying $150. We see how these two men, Sam and Bill, were now confused. Of how a masterplan turned into a disaster. Of how they were uncertain of how life was run. Instead, they should have thought twice of what could have happened or be less greedy. Now these men saw what I call ” Life, Oh Life”.
