Gexi didn’t understand his co-sailor’s, he thought about what makes them refer to him as ‘merchant of lost things’ because that wasn’t his name, but he was getting it wrong, by thinking the way he did, because those men were playful in their characters, and it was a way they used to talk to the former captain, so, definitely they wanted to be doing the same with him.
Gexi called for a meeting that day, toward in the afternoon, and he was explaining himself, telling his name to his fellow sailor’s again, maybe, they have forgotten what was his name, so he wants to enlighten them again.
Yet, he was going to far for thinking like that, it was just a teasing in the ship, which means, ‘they believe in his anchor, and sooner, he is going to take them in their right destination’.
That was how the fellow sailors knows that he didn’t understand them too, they start by letting him know why they said that words, ‘merchant of lost things’ as it doesn’t implies to negative things, but a way to appreciate his experiences as a captain in the ship, and show him some support verbally, by letting him know, they are all together in the ship.
Gexi gets it right from that moment, and as they will be not good of a gathering without champagne, he bring one bottle to the table, and one after another, the sailors pour to their self a drink.
In less than fifty minutes, the boat arrives that design destination, all the sailors shout happily up in the air, it was a joyful time of rest, feeling the land once again, and eat food made in the town of their arrival.
Gexi on his own get to the elderly woman’s shop, he was not accompanying by anybody, it was just him, and after he has served and eaten a meal, on his way going out, he heard it from the older woman, ‘a merchant of lost things’ he was astonished, how come she said that, who told her?
But it was because, the former captain of the ship, used to eat at the older woman’s restaurant, whenever he stopped his ship at that town, and in the town, ‘a merchant of lost things’ was a known words, which only means good things, by different people who said it.
