Coach Pineapple

(I am a lucky bastard!) You just woke up and you stare at the sun rising from the emerald sea in front of you.

You take a deep breath of pure air and start your morning jog on the white sand.

Six month ago you were still in the gray weather.

Deep into troubles and close to nervous breakdown after a bad divorce and the bankruptcy of your small business, you decided to leave everything behind and come to this small island in the south pacific.

With your savings you managed to buy a little one bedroom hut on the beach just outside of the only town of the island.

Since you arrived, life has been great and the locals now even treat you as one of their own.

You always lived in big cities and here you discovered the life in a small town where everyone knows everyone and everybody helps everybody.

Catching your breath you stop in front of the only shop in town.

From inside a short old local lady waves you in. It's Josephine. She is like the mayor of the place and acts like a mother for everyone.

As you enter the she gives you two big wet kisses on the cheeks and step back to look at you.

Josephine:"My god John! You are more handsome everyday!"

She is right. Since your arrival on the island the sun, the diet of fish and pineapple and the regular exercise gave you the body you always dreamed of.

You:"And you have lost weight as well Jos!"

Josephine:"You charmer!"

You could swear you saw the wrinkled dark skin blush.

Josephine:"I've got news for you. You know the school they have been building on the next island. They are looking for people. You should apply for a job!"

After six months, cash was running low and a paid job would be more than welcome.

Excited by the opportunity, you kiss Josephine goodbye and run back to your hut for a shower.

Now fresh, you pack a bag and pull your little boat in the sea for the little trip to the island.
