Jonathan's Last Day
Jonathan is a famous baker. He's hard-working and
punctual. He always gets up at three o'clock every
night and bakes his products. Then he has his
breakfast with his wife and opens his bakery. He
usually has his favorite pear marmalade in his
breakfast. He has many customers till afternoon. At
noon, he has lunch in his house. After lunch, he leaves
the bakery to his son and sleeps about two hours. He
returns to the shop and chats with his favorite
customers. He is the only baker in the town for quite a
long time, and now he has many friends who shop at his bakery. This is the same
routine for almost 25 years.
Today his daily routine is not the same. This is the last day in his bakery. He's going to
retire tomorrow. He is going to be in Hawaii with his wife next week. He has already
booked his tickets. His son is going to take care of the bakery. He normally wears white
clothes but today he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He always has siesta after lunch, but
today he is having a cup of espresso with his best friend.
He’s had a wonderful working life. Now he is ready to start a new life. He wants to see
new places. There is a luxury liners company in town, and they send a liner every
Sunday to many different exotic places around the world. Tonight, he’s starting his
journey with his wife from the harbor. The luxury liner leaves the harbor tonight.
