Mr. Plumbottom's Harpbreak Part I

63-year-old Mr. Plumbottom was very sad. His harp had broken. He was practicing and got up to use the toilet, and his grandson tried to climb the harp. In the process, all the strings broke. Mr. Plumbottom was not angry, for his grandson was little and did not know any better. But Mr. Plumbottom was devastated.   And Mr. Plumbottom  had a job in a musical orchestra. Guess what? Mr. Plumbottom had no more gold. He had not made wise choices on how to spend his money.  Now he was left middle-class or maybe even a bit poor instead of extremely rich. Even worse, he didn't have the money to pay his employees, so they all  stopped working for him. So he had no money to purchase a new harp. And getting it fixed would be too expensive.  So Mr. Plumbottom decided to quit the orchestra.
