As soon as he sat down, Apie Hook began to eat and drink recklessly. He tore it out of his mouth like a tiger, and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he had not eaten for days. Before he had swallowed the first bite, he put it into the second, and, as he chewed, stared at the food in his hand, and panted like a hungry cow on fodder.
Just then one of the sailors came and said, "Barber, the captain has asked you to come to dinner with him."
"Are you coming?" Apie Sui asked her partner for advice.
"I can't walk." "Said Abby Gou.
Apy Sui went on a solo crew appointment. The captain and his colleagues were seated at the table, on which more than twenty dishes were laid out.
Meeting Appy Sui, the captain asked, "And your companion?"
"He got seasick and went to sleep."
"That's all right. You'll get used to it. Please come to the table. We are waiting for you."
Then they began to eat and drink. After dinner, the captain pointed to the dish left behind and said to Apie Suy, "Take it to your comrade."
Apie Sui accepted the dish and took it back to her lodger. Seeing Apie Gou, she said, "Captain's kind! I told him you were seasick, and what did he bring you? '
'Give it to me!
Apie Sui handed him the plate, and when he saw the food, he snatched it up like a hungry Wolf, and began to eat and drink greedily.
Apiy, however, returned to the dining-room to have coffee with the captain. When he had finished his coffee, he returned to his lodgings, where his food had been eaten by Apie Hooch, who had to pack up his cups and plates for him and take them back to the captain before returning to his lodgings to rest.
Apie Sui was robbed
The next day Apie Sui was still soliciting business, and her share of his rewards went to her. Except to go to the toilet, the lazy guy always stays in bed. And every evening Appy Sui brought him a rich dish from the captain. Twenty days later, when the boat reached the dock, they went ashore.
When they got to town, they took a room in a hotel, and as soon as she went in, she fell back into bed. Apie Sui was busy here and there, buying groceries, cooking, and even bringing her meals to him.
When she had finished her meal, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm dizzy." Then he fell back to sleep.
Every day, Apie went to the market with tools to shave her head for money. It was very hard. Apie Hook, on the other hand, was lazy and did nothing. When Apie Sui advised him: "Get up, go out, look at the beautiful scenery." He always said, "Forgive me, I'm dizzy." Then go to sleep. Apie Sui ignored him and worked hard to make money. Forty days passed in this way.
On the forty-first day, Apie Sui fell ill and asked the porter to help her buy food. For the first four days of his illness, Apie Hook still slept on a full stomach. Apie Sui became sicker and sicker, and lay in a coma. Apie Sui found that she had little to eat and drink, and was so hungry that she got up to see what she could eat.
He went through Apie Sui's clothes, found the purse in Apie Sui's pocket, stole the money, and fled.
Apie Hook is on board
Apie Gou, dressed in fine clothes, stole away and wandered about the city. The city is beautiful and clean, but the people don't dress in any color other than blue and white. He went to a dye house and saw that the cloth inside was all blue. He took out his handkerchief, gave it to his boss and asked, "I want to dye this handkerchief. How much does it cost?"
"Twenty dollars."
"What? In my hometown, it only costs two dollars."
"Then take it to your hometown. Here, not a penny less."
"What color can you dye?"
"Blue."
"I want to dye it red."
"I can't do red."
"What about green?"
"I wouldn't dye it either."
"And yellow?"
"Not really."
Abby Tick counted out the colors that the dyers couldn't do, and said impatiently, "We've got forty dyers here. If one of these forty dies, we will teach his son the art of washing and dyeing, so that he will inherit his father's business. Without a son, we would rather be without, not without. If the deceased has two sons, we only teach the eldest son the craft, and only when the eldest is dead can the younger brother learn to wash and dye. We have always been diligent in our craft work, dyeing only blue and leaving the rest alone."
"To tell you the truth, I'm with you, but I dye every color. Now I am going to be your hired hand, and I will teach you how to dye it, so that you can boast about it before your fellows."
"We don't have room for outsiders in this business."
"Can you open another dye house for me?"
"Absolutely not."
Apie Hook left this dyehouse to seek employment in another, and received exactly the same reply as in the first. Unconvinced, he asked the owners of forty dyehouses in the city, but still found nothing. At last he approached the head dyer and offered himself. The chief dyer said to him:
'I'm sorry! We don't accept outsiders in our line of work."
