John woke up and hit his head.
“Damn,” he thought. And that summed it all up.
He trudged across the room and got dressed into what he called idiotic, and his boss, who wasn’t a lumberjack, called expected. The shirt had red and black checks, and his trousers were green. He also had brown boots and a belt where he stored his hatchet to cut the large logs.
He left his log cabin got his number nine axe and got to work. It was four hours of cutting down trees till lunchtime.
So this is what he John did:
- Find a big thick tree
- Eyeball its height
- and start to chop
He did this 16 or 17 times before he was called for lunch which was beef stew.
John wolfed down the stew hungrily then bolted the bread and cheese on the side and gulped down the water. When he was done John went to the foreman to ask what his afternoon job was. The foreman told him he was on log cutting duty.
By the way, John works for the Happy Firewood company which makes kindling, fire starters and obviously … firewood.
