Chapter 3: First Job
Joe woke up. He rose in his bed and rubbed his eyes. He looked around his small, dark house. I wonder if I can get a temporary job with Nook to work off some bells. Joe Thought in his head. Joe jumped up out of bed and dressed out of his PJs into a Flame Shirt.
Joe stood outside his door as he breathed in the cool, crisp, morning air. Joe started forward to look at the bulletin board to see the news. Joe stood opened mouthed at the bulletin board. It said:
Attention Texas!
I
will be handing out one job to the
taker.
Anyone even humans can
apply.
Be sure to come, especially
when
you owe someone a big sum of
money.
Tom Nook
Joe knew Nook was putting him up to it. So Joe headed one acre north and looked at the Train Station clock. It said 9:06 AM. Joe headed two acres east and headed into Nook's Cranny.
"Ah! Joe! My favorite person!" Nook said as he walked in. "Can I have the-," Joe was stopped by Nook. "Job? Yes, you are applied!" Joe stared blankly at Nook. There was a silence. Joe decided to break it. "So, what do I do first?" Joe asked. "Give this axe to Quetzal. Don't get think of anything funny, you here. This is Quetzal's Axe," Nook told Joe. "Yes sir!" Joe exclaimed. He grabbed the axe and was off!
