jennifer pink had a kind heart.
but she only had one friend.
a dog named patty.
patty was one of the old breed, faithful and true.
one exceptionally cold evening, jennifer took patty for her walk.
jennifer worked during the day at an employment agency.
where she heard many very sad stories.
her supervisor’s name was cathy.
cathy was not as softhearted as jennifer.
but then, not many people were.
jennifer walked along with patty, not thinking about anything much.
in the dusk, she saw a person approaching.
how astonished jennifer was, when she recognized cathy!
it amazed her to see someone from the office in what she thought of as “real life”.
but she recovered in time to say hello to cathy.
but the person she had thought was cathy looked at her strangely.
i have no idea who you are, the woman addressed jennifer in a mean voice.
i am sorry, jennifer blurted out embarressedly , you looked like somebody i know.
wait - i remember you now, the strange woman changed her tune.
jennifer stared at the strange woman, perplexed.
you work at the consolidated employment agency.
oh, jennifer replied, did you have a happy experience with the agency?
get out! i did not have a happy experience with the agency or with you.
i am terribly sorry to hear that, jennifer replied humbly, but we see so many people -
yes, and you forget them all, don’t you?
jennifer did not try to deny it, although she did in fact remember many of them.
