One day he had came to Sovann office to talk with him. He had very soft voice to talk. Sovann said go to the table and talk. Hong said I am the one who knotted all of the clothes and take the cheapest price. I had a problem with the clothes sample so we couldn't find it. We could find it if we go to Phnom Penh. But I also had another clothes sample it is very thick new and nice than the old one. He took it and gave it to Sovann. Sovann checked very carefully. Hong been looked at the door then he gave a envelop to Sovann. Sovann said what is it? It is some of the money about 500 dollars for give me a chance to knotted all of the clothes. Sovann didn't take it and he didn't know that is a trap. Hong said please take it and Sovann think about it and take it. Hong was very excited and returned home.
In the evening Sovann had a meet with his friend. They rode a bike together to see the view of the lake. He is very strange about give the money to him. The handsome mans were stopped at the tree near the lake. The sun nearly and sunset. His friend said looked at the Hong's big house. He always lied to anybody which they came to knotted the clothes. He always said his clothes is the best one in the world but that is a lie. He bought it from the market which the people didn't need it and it was out of date. So that why he sold it very cheap. Sovann wanted to tell his friend. A few minute a few beautiful girls with nice long hair walked accross them and the handsome boys were very in love and they didn't think about Hong anymore. Even the new gentle deputy but nothing wasn't unhappiness to him.
After he got home and think: I only got 45 dollars each months. I used it for buy food; laundry everything but none of my money left even 1 dollar. So he had another idea if he take the clothes to the police to wear it; it will be broken and I have to spend a lot of money again. If the clothes wet it will spent a lot of money again. The normal police is only had 12 dollars per month. If the police told the boss deputy I'm going to spent a lot of money for 1000 police. So he is very tired and get to sleep.
Tomorrow Hong came to his offices. Sovann gave the money back to him. Hong came here for the last time and do his face very angry and wanted to say: stupid man! already take my money but didn't used it but that's ok I will finished it. In that time Sovann is very busy and he couldn't see the action of Hong. In sovann mind think in one day the clothes would be used by the police.
In one day in July Sovann! tomorrow is the day of take the police clothes and you had to check it very clearly understand? than he got back. After that the police wore the clothes and the clothes is very old and soft and he got very angry and he can't accepted to take it. The boss deputy taught him and said:
- Sovann! why were you
-yes! I saw the clothes were very old and it would be broken because it wouldn't used for long days
The boss was very angry and said I'm your boss you can't taught me liked that. GO AWAY I wouldn't let you work here again.
Two hours later Sovann had a letter from the boss and he Sovann got fired. Sovann wouldn't cared about anything.
