Sometimes, people act in a profoundly shortsighted manner. Take Duolito, for instance, who got married and then fled from his beloved as far away as possible…
A Dream of Every Man
For many years, Duolito led a serene life, but one fateful day, he grew tired of his mundane existence. In a bid to inject excitement into his life, he decided to marry the stunning Betty.
His chosen one was not only attractive but also intelligent, graceful, and pleasant to converse with. Additionally, Betty was an excellent cook and was open to culinary experiments in the bedroom.
The True Face of the Witch
However, after marriage, Duolito’s life took a drastic turn for the worse! Betty drained his finances, fed him the same food she gave the dog, bloated from indulging in sweets, and ceased to wear makeup.
Upon witnessing the true nature of this shrew, Duolito realized the grave mistake he had made! It dawned on him that introducing novelty to his life through marriage was far from the wisest choice…
A Stash Is Never Enough
Duolito decided to abandon everything and embark on a journey across the country. He took his hidden stash, set aside for a rainy day, and vanished without explaining anything to his wife. She should understand—she drove her husband to despair, and now she could sit alone!
The stash was not as substantial as he had hoped. Soon, Duolito found himself searching for work to cover living expenses, drinks, and various unsavory pleasures, like the company of fallen women. He scraped by with odd jobs, earning a little here and there—essentially wherever there were hands in need of work.
Cursed Work and the Accursed Marriage
After several months, the exemplary husband had morphed into a drifter. He relished the nomadic lifestyle!
Duolito regretted only two things: marrying the wretched Betty and the fact that work hindered his travels. Alas, money had to come from somewhere! Cash doesn’t fall from the sky, nor does it lie on the ground.
The Best Job in the World
One day, fate led Duolito to the quaint town of Pinny-Town. As he strolled down the most bustling street of this backwater, he spotted an ice cream truck: the owner was selling treats to children who lined up, drooling as they eagerly anticipated exchanging their pocket money for delights.
Duolito stood at a distance, observing the young man who brought genuine happiness to the children. This simple job brought the ice cream vendor decent earnings if the day went well! Undoubtedly, this source of cash was far better than his previous odd jobs.
The Ice Cream Truck
From then on, Duolito understood what he needed to do. He settled in Pinny-Town for a while, working tirelessly wherever possible until he finally purchased an ice cream truck.
It turned out to be quite suitable for the job—there was no need for costly repairs. Moreover, it came equipped with a recipe book and a machine for making ice cream. All that remained was to decorate the product creatively, which the ingenious device would achieve by drenching it in glaze, sprinkling it with chocolate flakes, or adding something else that would induce indescribable delight in children.
The sales were booming. Now Duolito was no longer bound to one place—he no longer had to search for work! He simply arrived in each new town, parked near a kindergarten or primary school, and voilà—cash flowed in abundance…
Having found his new vocation, Duolito genuinely cherishes each day of his life. He also recognizes that marrying purely for the sake of novelty is a foolish decision. If one truly wishes to add a dash of excitement to a tranquil existence, it is far wiser to try one’s luck at slots—perhaps you’ll earn some money, have fun, and steer clear of any shrews!
