The cleverness of the James Gang
Legend says that Jesse James and his gang once stopped at a rundown farmhouse on the remote countryside to hide following yet another bank robbery. The occupant of the house was a little old lady that took the time to cook for them and take care of their laundry. The gang became very fond of the widow and after discovering her house was in foreclosure they gave her the $500 she needed to pay the debt, which happened to be owed to the same bank they had just robbed. She was extremely grateful to them as they departed.
They actually only went a small distance down the cattle path where they set up camp in a small but secluded clump of trees.
The road was relatively untraveled except for the debt collector who passed them by going to settle the widow’s account.
On his way back, the gang confronted the man and got their money back.
Life Lesson: Know the habits of those with whom you do business.
