Mr. Plumbottom searched the internet for jobs. He googled ''jobs and industries," he phoned ''Herman's Jobs and Industries," he even called his neighbors and asked if they knew about any jobs. Sure, that Professor Pirate Michael Plumbottom found more than plenty of jobs, but none of them suited him. One morning, he was sitting in his favorite armchair, sipping at the familiar taste of coffee, and reading the morning papers. As the rusty old pirate ship rocked him at a slow, steady rhythm, he announced to his wife, "Isabelle, I think I am going to retire.'' But many questions were ringing in Mr. Plumbottom's head. Especially, How will I earn money if I retire?
Suddenly, Mr. Plumbottom had a lightbulb. His friend Macy and her family were very rich. Surely Macy would purchase him a brand new harp. Why hadn't he thought of that before? Mr. Plumbottom wouldn't retire! He would get a new harp and go back into the orchestra. All he had to do was ask Macy!
The very next week, Mr. Plumbottom sat, practicing ''Ode to Joy'' on his brand new harp. Now both his harp and his heart were in one piece.
