Necessary Business


Morris was in the business of making flax, a cotton-made fiber used in clothes.  Many young Lithuanians were forced by the soviets to join the military, to which Morris was a part of.   Ever since his time in the military, he never ceased to carry a gun on him.  About a month after Charles was born, Morris went on a business trip with a friend from Joniškis to Vilnius to sell his material.  Despite the fact that this was many miles away, it was a necessary trip financially.  When he came upon the location, he told his partner to wait outside while he goes in to make the deal.  Upon walking into the building he was immediately suspicious about the place.  The men he was speaking with there were edgy, and he saw about four open doors.  They asked him if he had the money on him for his purchase.  As soon as he said so, a series of men started coming out of these doors.  Immediately Morris pulled out his pistol from his coat pocket and ordered them to move up along the wall.  He then called upon his partner and they hit the hell out of dodge!  When Morris arrived home, he said to his wife, “MER MUSSEN LEFAN!”
