2. One life application that I got out of the story is to not take jokes too far because they can greatly affect the lives of others. The joke, played by Platte and Mrs. Larkyn, ruined the relationship between the Colonel and his wife. Because of this, the mistrust had begun killing the Colonel’s wife and caused the Colonel to be miserable.
3. I thought the story was interesting and enjoyable to read. It taught a good lesson and definitely threw a lot of drama into the storyline. I also found it amusing how all of the mistrust and troubles started all because the Colonel accidentally dropped a watch.
