John James was a soldier. He joined the army in July, right after he graduated from college. He liked to
make jokes and he enjoyed dangerous projects. He and his friend Jim spent their days off jumping on stage,
running over bridges and eating anything that was in the fridge. When they met girls, they were real
gentlemen. They would always apologize and offer them an orange. Jim really liked jam and he always had
jam stains on his jeans. That was always a reason for John to make jokes. They laughed even while they did
lunges. John and Jim were the happiest soldiers in the world!
