. I don’t want to put money aside

like the old fossils were doing their whole life, going to the bank and paying regular sums into their account each month – no, nothing like that! If you have any idea how to reinvest

that easy money into profitable shares, let me know! I promise, you won’t need to cash up

in your store every week and pinch pennies

then.

? A DESPERATE PLEA

Dad,

Really sorry, but I’m forced to beg you for help again. Badly need a thousand to make both ends meet. Believe me, I tried as hell for my exams. I just had no chance to take up a part-time job. Now, I can barely scrapeby

on what my friends chipped in

. This time, though, it’s even worse – I was in the library, engrossed in reading, and my leg felt paralyzed. I was taken to hospital. Bad luck, the doctors couldn’t save it, and this is now the second leg I’ve lost. Fortunately, the university carried the payment over

until next month, but I’m now stuck up

in the hospital. I can’t move, I can’t get by

without money, it’s «catch-22».

Dear sonny,

You won’t believe it, but I went see you or your doctor in the hospital. Your mother went out of

her mind with worry, saying you were too timid to tell us the truth about your health. I didn’t pull it off

, unfortunately. I was lucky, though, to run into

a pretty nurse you’d hung out

with the previous day. I have to admit she is worth losing not only another leg, but your mind, too. As this is the third leg you have lost according to your letters, I’m sure you ought to be used to this by now. If my memory serves me correctly, you lost the first one in a terrible accident when a tram ran you over

and cut it off

. The second one was bitten by a horse near the betting shop window, when you were staking your last penny on

a horse at the hippodrome. Later, luckily, the third one has grown back

but, tough luck, it’s paralyzed now. So hobble along
