Yesterday, I decided to get my pants altered. I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration. Foolishy however, I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin to alleviate my headache.
Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft, rising to a higher altitude. It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They looked alike but seemed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could sense I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare these days. What an ally he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities reminded me of the biblicla allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrast given that I didn’t really know them.
I continued on my way but was allured into a bike shop by a window photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, “ride rough, ride real,” a clever alliteration. I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop.
The owner was an alumnus from my university. He alluded that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy. He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free.
Well, I didn’t make it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants? Well, the bike shop owner cut the pant legs off for free. Now I have a cool pair of shorts for riding!
