Chapter 8
The Long Tell Then The Long Tale
(Gert in front of the residence of the apothecary, sitting on a bench)
Gert: Oh, I really have to settle the matter. (He stands up, looking confused and saw a journeyman walking towards the door)...Oh Mr. Journeyman (suprised, he tried to run away from Gert). The Apothecary's Journeyman?! (He grabbed the journeyman's arm and brought him near the bench) May I have a word with you?
Journeyman: Your humble servant, Master Gert. Are you going to the house?
Journeyman: Yes, I was to speak to the beautiful lady. Are you really the apothecary's journeyman? I haven't seen you there so long.
Journeyman: I've only helped here for a week. For 9 years, I'm in Harslev at a chemist shop.
Gert: (surprised) Oh! really? You know Harlev? I know that place indeed! That was when I went to Kiel. I was with the best hatter in Jutland. Mind you every hat I wore was a creation of him. We tried our luck in Kiel, believing that money will grow easily in that place. You need not to work unlike in other places because people of Kiel pay plenty (Journeyman tried to say "Oh, monsieur" several times while Gert's speaking) which is more than enough for one person. There's a good value in that city! And let me tell you the prices of food! A half penny for a pound of the best pork that any man would dream.......Uhm....
Jm: Oh, Monsour (or monsieur) it would take long if I let you finish...
(he leaves but Gett grabbed his hand and drag him to the bench)
Gt: Next, only a farthing for a pound of beef...
Jm: Pardon me master, but I don't have the time to listen to all of this! (he tyried and was grabbed then dragged)
Gt: Fourth, a lubeck half penny for twenty eggs...
Jm: I do not have anything to do with those eggs, butter and pork!
(You know the rest)
Gt: A quar of French brabdy for....Oh!! Don't be impatient mosier. Well I leave that one and go on with my journey. We were traveling in the road, blah, blah................
(Master Gert continued his long tale of adventure and journey in Keil and made the journeyman fall asleep...Until...)
Gt: Oh!! I'm again forgetting my errand!
(He trips on the JOurneyman's foot, the journeyman wakes up and run away)
Gt: I must speak to the lady! I must knock, I must knock.
(He went to the door and knock it with a "BANG! BANG! BANG!" sound. And someone opened the door. Who could it be. Stay tuned to the next exciting yet funny yet dramatic chapter of our long tale ala story! Bye!!)
And remember, say FISH!
