Third Anecdote

The last anecdote about my grandpa is how he learned a valuable life lesson. Before my grandpa went to work in the oil fields, he had been young, naive, and needed some money. He was living in Alaska at the time with his cousin. They decided they would go chop down a tree in a national park(Because the logging camp was far away) to sell later for some cash; even though it was illegal. So one night around 2 A.M. they got a chainsaw and began cutting down a rather large tree. Well, halfway through, the chainsaw got stuck because the tree was pinching the blade. So they were going to go get my dads cousin’s chainsaw, but right before they left the tree fell down by itself. So they went and got the other chainsaw in order to chop up the tree in smaller pieces and get the other chainsaw out from under the tree. The chainsaw that had been under the tree, got partially ruined during the fall. And so, the next day, when they sold the wood, they spent all the money on fixing my grandpas chainsaw. And they realized that taking the easy way out doesn’t always pay off and neither does committing a crime.
