The man paid his fair-dealing, loaded the cart and left to bring others carts with which he can carry away the brick. With the money taken, Simon looked after his own way. What would have happened there after his leaving only God knows.
Other kind of adventure of Simon took place in a village near Pitesti. He was looking for work and accepted to be a retainer at a country man that was having a distinguished fruit tree orchard. It was during summer and the country man had mature fruits from August until late October. From now and until Christmas, there was a lot of work in the orchard, including getting and depositing the fruits for the winter season. But until that time, the fruits were being picked up, generally apples, and were being sold, according to the prize, in Pitesti or in other place. Simon was by turns, picker, cart man, stable man, salesman and others. He was being used in any work craft, he was very capable and the host was testing him continuously to see how honest he is. The employer happened to “forget” money in different places was “loosing” the keys from different boxes where he was keeping the money, but Simon knew what meant all these things and didn’t “react” different than the employer wished. Another form of testing Simon of his employer was loading the carts with bigger quantities of apples, more apples than he would tell Simon there were. Each time Simon would bring him home the carry-over. He got out of all these tests so well that the country man not only that he thanked God for the servant He gave him, but since he didn’t have any children he thought of making him his inheritor. During all Autumn Simon worked with high intensity at the duties that his employer engaged him, with any remarks, never answering back at what the boss had to say. Nobody could reproach him anything. He became one of them.
