Jack had been jealous of Jake since the day he had moved to their small town. Jake was a fisherman who was always lucky with his catches, while Jack was always struggling .
Jack had been simmering with rage for months, and he finally decided to take matters into his own hands. One night, he crept out of his house and made his way to the river where Jake was fishing. He had a knife in his pocket and was determined to murder Jake.
However, when he got to the river, he saw Jake laughing with a group of other fishermen. Jack had never seen Jake so happy, and it filled him with rage. He felt like Jake was taunting him with his good luck. Without thinking, Jack pulled out his knife and started running towards Jake.
Suddenly, Jack heard a voice from behind him. It was Jake’s wife. She had seen Jack running towards her husband and had rushed to protect him. She told Jack to stop, but he refused.
That’s when Jake finally stepped in. He told Jack that he was his friend and that he was sorry for how Jack had been feeling. He said that he knew that Jack had been going through a hard time, and he wanted to help him.
Jack was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such compassion from the man he was about to murder. He dropped his knife and began to cry. He apologized to Jake and his wife, and they welcomed him into their home.
Jack soon realizedΒ it was a trap. Jack’s jealousy and envy soon led him to death and he was never seen again.
