Tom decided to take up the family business of carpenters like his dad and his dad before him. As the years went on, Tom became more and more proficient in the art of table making and his skills were known around the world. One day he sold a table to one of his close friends. Once the sale went through, Tom noticed that he accidentally shorted the man by 5 cents. Tom felt great conviction about this and realized that he must correct his mistake. It was winter and Tom knew that the journey to his friend's home would not be easy. The day Tom left, he unknowingly caught a splinter that pierced his skill cells in his left thumb. The splinter became infected and coupled with the cold temperature, started to develop greengage. Sadly... The carpenter never made it to his friends house that night. Will we ever hear of Mr. Clancy again?
