Book one, Chapter Seven, Temptation

President Sheffer was very satisfied with Silly-Head's respect, and he took the magic hat with an easy look, put it on his head, and then took the crystal wand from Silly-Head's hand and gently clicked on the ground. Silly-Head naturally understood the meaning of the president, quickly took a step, gently opened the door, and asked the president to go out.

As he walked out the door, the president suddenly said to Silly-Head again, "By the way, Silly-Head, do you have a place to stay now? If not, come to my house. My stableman left a few days ago and I haven't found anyone yet, if you know what I mean."

'Yes, it's all at your disposal.' 'said Silly-Head, lowering his head.

"Well, come on, I'll show you around and meet some of the famous people in town, and you'll take care of me later." President Sheffer nodded his head and said.

"Yes, I will remember everything to your satisfaction." 'said Silly-Head.

Just as the two men strut out of the mercenary union and start to walk down the street, the donkey in the corner, seeing Silly-Head's tiny figure, snorts unconsciously.

When Silly-Head heard the donkey's greeting, he was troubled and regretted his hasty decision the night before. "What now," he thought, "the president wants me to live in his house, but can he let a donkey in?" Well, how am I to explain this to the President, for I was a little soft and got into this trouble?"

President Sheffer, who was walking in front of me, noticed the strange appearance of Silly-Head behind him. He stopped and asked, "Silly-Head, is there anything else you want?"

"I... I..." Silly-Head, unable for a moment to find a good reason, hesitated and shut his mouth.

"Just say what you have to say, why be so silly?" The president had an unhappy look on his face.

"Yes, yes, Sir, to tell you the truth, I have another donkey. What do you think I should do with him?" 'Silly-Head explained awkwardly.

"Donkey? You have a donkey. Where is it?" President Sheffer asked curiously.

"Over there, chewing the grass." "Said Silly-Head, pointing to the donkey.

President Sheffer looked in the direction Silly-Head was pointing and immediately laughed and pointed to the donkey and said to Silly-Head, "This... This is your donkey. It looks like a dog to me, ha ha..."

Embarrassed, Silly-Head almost wanted to find a seam to crawl into it, hated the donkey in his heart, and quickly continued to explain: "President, this... It's a gift from Jon. If you don't like it, I'll get rid of it. You see?"

After he had laughed, Sheffer stopped laughing a little sheepishly, but his mouth was still twitching, thinking he was suffering too much. After a long time, he said to Silly-Head, "No, you can have a donkey, it will be very good for your work. I can't let you ride my horse, I'll give him more good stuff later on.

Silly-Head was completely overwhelmed by the president's bosom, and said with reverence: "Thank you, thank you, President, I will take good care of him, let him look like a horse."

President Sheffer interrupted Silly-Head and said, "Now, when you're done, wash your donkey and take it home tonight, remember?"

Silly-Head nodded and said, "Yes, Sir, I'll make sure he's cleaned."

"Come here, do you see that fat man who reeks of jewels? He's the head of the town's chamber of commerce. I'm going to say hello to him later. Be smart." President Sheffer pointed to a fat man on the street and said.

Silly-Head quickly glanced at the fat man that the president said, that is indeed a whole body of jewelry gas guy, who can wear, can hang, can buckle the place, all covered by dazzling jewelry, in the face of this a fat man full of copper smell, Silly-Head heart filled with disgust.

"Ha-ha, Big Boss Gills, what are you going to do, in such a hurry?" President Sheffer took two quick steps to greet the fat man.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

"Yo, it's President Sheffer, please forgive me for not seeing you, I apologize here." The fat man smiled and responded to the president's words.

President Shyfelsaid: "Dare not be, you are a busy man in the town, what are you busy today?"

"What else can you do? There are a few tenants who owe me rent, I don't want to go to push it, ah, these dalits are really damned, this year's harvest is so good, but there are a few households do not pay the rent on time..." The fat man gnashed his teeth to explain.

President Sheffer showed a mocking look on his face and said: "So, it is right to play, well, then I will not interfere with your business, please come to my house for tea."

"Well, well, one day I will certainly see you, Mr. President Sheffer. In that case, I will be taking leave." Fat man said anxiously with a face.

"All right, see you later." The president said with a nod.

Fat man seemed very anxious, did not wait for the president Shyfel to finish his words, turned and hurried away. Looking at the fat man a twist of the big buttocks, Shyfel long mouth revealed a trace of ridicule. Shyfel president, as well as the fat man's expression, all fell into the eyes of Silly-Head, although I feel that the conversation between the two people is only a sham, but still admire the deep skills of the two people.

"Silly-Head, what do you think of this fat man?" "Silly-head asked suddenly.

"Me? Are you asking me, Chairman? ' 'asked Silly-Head, startled.

"Yes, I am asking you. Hey, don't worry, I just want to test you." The president said with a smile.

"Oh, the president wants to hear it, but do you want to hear the truth or the lie?" 'Silly-Head asked cautiously, after a pause.

President Sheffer, intrigued by Silly-Head's answer, asked, "What about the truth? What about lies?"

Silly-Head felt remorse in his heart, and felt embarrassed for his inwisdom. To tell the truth, he might make the president have a prejudice against him, say lies, or make the president think himself hypocritical. He bit his teeth and said: "President, this is only my personal opinion, if not, please forgive me."

"Well, don't dawdle, I have a lot of work to do." "Sheffer urged.

"Yes, Sir, the lie is that the fat man is a greedy, mean, snobby merchant. The truth is that he is a great businessman who deceives the world with his false appearance." 'whispered Silly-Head.

The expression on Sheffer's face paused. Then, with a conscious nod, he turned his head away and walked on, ignoring Silly-Head. The slight changes in the expression of the president's face, all fell into Silly-Head's eyes, but the strange behavior of the president, so that Silly-Head is very confused, want to ask, but dare not ask, had to shut his mouth and follow up.

"And what was your original name?" "President Sheffer asked without turning his head.

Silly-Head hurried two steps, hunched up, and replied, "Sir, my name is Silly-Head, because I was born with a little hair on Silly-Head, so that's what my mother called me."

"I see. Did you ever go to school?" President Sheffer asked again.

"Back to the president, when I was a child, my family was poor and did not go to school, but I used to play in the private school, when the noble young masters and ladies were learning, I waited on the side, so I know something reasonable." Silly-Head lowered his head to explain.

President Sheffer didn't seem to believe much of what Silly-Head was saying, and suddenly turned and stared into Silly-Head's face, trying to read something in it. But Silly-Head had nothing to draw his attention to except his clever eyes, and thought to himself, "By the look on Silly-Head's face, which must be the result of chronic malnutrition, and by the absence of a trace of magic in him, he is telling the truth."

President Shyfel smiled at this and said to Silly-Head, "You have a very unique opinion, Boss Gills. It is true that on the surface he is a vulgar upstart, as you say, and his jewels are shovelled fakes. But who knew that he was in control of the lifeblood of the country's economy?"

"In charge of a country's economy? The fat man, you mean? ' 'Silly-Head asked, opening his mouth wide.

"Oh, yes, I mean him, well, this is not a secret, you will know later, go ahead is a silk shop, inside the boss is my good friend, we go to talk." President Shyfel pointed to a shop in front, said.

Silly-Head bowed and said, "Yes, please, President."

And so the president took Silly-Head round and round the town, showing Silly-Head all the important people in the town, for the whole morning, and then it was over.

"Sir, you have a wide range of friends. You know people from all walks of life. What I admire the least is that they are all so enthusiastic about you. Silly-Head is sucking up to the chairman.

Listen to Silly-Head's flattery, Shyfel president slightly tired face, showing a gratifying smile, not complacent said: "Ha ha, you are praising me, or damage me?"

Shyfel president words, let Silly-Head was taken aback, quickly sneak an eye at his face, see Shyfel president face and all happy color, the worry in the heart just hidden, careful to deal with: "President, small said is the truth, if you are not good, then why did they see you so enthusiastic? Don't you think so?"

"Ha ha, you're right. It's getting late. Let's go back." Shyfel president said faintly.

See Shyfel president face a pleasant smile, Silly-Head heart just put real, thought: "Fuck, flattery almost caught on the horse's feet, next time, I have to pay attention to a little, otherwise the president annoyed, my 'money' is over."

When Silly-Head thought about things in his heart, the silly-head president had already gone to the mercenary trade union with a smile on his face. Silly-Head quickly packed up her feelings and ran after them, carefully waiting behind her.

On the same day, the townspeople learned that the president of the mercenary union, Sheffer, had hired a new servant, a plain-looking, short, but very talkative and pleasant servant.
