The Frog saga continues…
Amelia and George enjoy playing chess in the evening. Being newlyweds, they don’t have a lot of extra money, and this does nicely to keep them occupied.
George, however, is a much better chess player, and Amelia grew tired of losing. So she has her own strategy to give her a fighting chance.
Amelia: Will you really take my pawn, Georgie?
George: These are the rules, Amelia. Yes, I will take it.
Amelia: But he has a family.
George: No, he doesn’t. He’s a game piece on a board.
Amelia: So says the powerful men who start wars! He does have a family. He’s got a little boy who idolizes him, and a baby girl he hasn’t met yet. His wife adores him, and she prays nightly for his safe return.
George: That is not fair, Amelia.
Amelia: It’s better to have all the information before you act, don’t you think?
George: …
Amelia: Are you taking my pawn?
George: This is not fair at all, Amelia!
George did not take her pawn, and as the game progressed, he discovered that the board was filled with unique individuals, all of whom just wanted to get home for supper.
