Jenny has been living on a shoestring
for almost nine years. When her fisherman husband died she
did not have a penny to her name.
There was nothing else for it
but to get a job and start working. Now she is a very wealthy
woman, and she is dressed to the nines
as she visits the place where they scattered her husband's
ashes. For three days she was
of two minds about
going to visit this spot exactly nine years after his funeral. She is
glad she came however, and she is sure her husband can see her, and is
smiling to her even now.
