Henry was enjoying the show on TV as he listened to the boisterous conversation in the bar. He was almost lost in thought when a man approach his table. Henry saw the old bartender place another pitcher of beer on the table.
"Looks like you are enjoying yourself Henry! You getting that belly of yours nice a big". Henry chuckled as he slapped his belly.
"My prized possession! So how goes it Larry?"
Larry curled his mustache upwards as he smiled, "Pretty good my friend. Just been taking care of my shop. I was cleaning yesterday and came across this item I thought ol' Hamood in town could look at". Larry pulled out an ornate gold colored lamp and placed it on the table.
"I thought I could get some money off of it".
Henry picked up the lamp and looked at it closely. It certainly was beautiful! Henry smiled, "You want me to check it out while you finish up here?"
"Sure! I would appreciate that a lot. Today's meal will be on the house!".
Henry slowly picked up his enlarged belly and walked out with the lamp. Secretly, he was wondering about rubbing the lamp like he saw in the old cartoons he watched as a kid.What does Henry do?
