This story is about 2 people, called Bill and Sam, who wants to ransom a kid from this wealthy family to fund for their real estate scandal. This story starts out with Bill and Sam driving up to the kid and asking him if he wants candy to bait the kid into their car. The kid was a rascal, so he threw a brick at Bill’s eye, which really enraged him. They ended up using force to get him in the car and drives to the nearby mountains. From there they start to plan what to do with the kid, but Bill has to make sure the kid doesn’t run and so he plays with him. The played a lot of games, most of which were a big burden for Bill and was really painful. Especially when the kid “rode” on him and hit him. After about 2 or so days, they write the letter to the kid’s dad, stating that his child was with them and if he doesn’t pay up then he will never see his child again. Obviously the dad responded but his response was really surprising. It stated an offer that the two will pay HIM so they get the kid off their hands. Now this was really dumb, but since Bill was so desperate, Sam agreed to the offer and returned the kid to his dad.
I thought this story was quite funny and ironic since Sam and Bill ended up with less money than they started out with and because the dad knew how annoying his son was. A moral from this story was don’t handle things that your not prepared for since Sam and Bill had no idea that the kid was so annoying.
