   Unit One The Abduction
   An adage says that adversity is transient. The following allegory is an example.
   Long, long ago there were two couples that had no children. They adopted a boy named Terry. They were affable to Terry and Terry adored them very much. They lived an amicable life and amassed affluent affections.
   One day two bad men came to the village. They found Terry and accosted him: “Are your parents at home?” “No, they went to drink in the tavern.” terry replied. “Good!” alleged one of them, “I’ve heard of an anecdote saying that, there’s a bulk of ablaze antique treasure hidden somewhere near the apex of the mountain. Do you wish to find it out with us?” Terry was a boy with agility. He was allured and acclaimed: “Wonderful! I’ll affiliate you.”
   Consequently, Terry’s parents did find him when they came back. “Maybe you have alienated Terry. He finds you acrimonious and left. ” The mother said in anguish. “I do not doubt his allegiance; He may have been abducted.” replied the father.
   Just then they received a mail with an annex amalgamated with the text. In the appendix there was an abridged letter: “Your son is in our hands. We’ve abated his diet and annulled his sleep. We want $10,000 for absolving him. If you are amenable to our advisable request, send the money to the allocated aperture of the sewer at the north of the village within two days; if you adjourn, you’ll never see him again!” the letter admonished without any annotation. The letter was not abstruse, but the abhorrent allusion drove them into agony. Quickly they called the police.
   Several policemen were allotted to the case. They were adroit and adept in their job. Soon they rescued Terry and treated him with antiseptics. The couple felt abashed: “Thanks to the police, their affinity to spec ops amazed us. We’ll abstain drinking and accentuate the agrarian work.”
   The criminal and his accomplice were accused for abduction but were acquitted although proof was against them, because the avaricious judge adopted their bribery.
