Dear Camel,
What made you decide to befriend Jacob? You are an experienced and normally well-liked employee that seems to be quiet and shy towards others. After making friends with Jacob, people no longer see you as the quiet, shy, responsible one. Maybe you just wanted to prove to everyone that you aren't just the quiet one, that you can be risky and clever as well, but what about him made you want to be nice to him in the first place? After knowing him for all of 2 hours, (and you were asleep for one and a half of those hours) you backed him up and helped him get a respectable starting job and then helped him advance further and get promoted to higher jobs; his job was better than yours! So why did you do it? Since you are a circus worker, I doubt you chose to because you are just a good person that wanted to help out someone in need, but I also do not believe that you chose to become friends with him because you wanted to help yourself. So, did your friends force you to be nice to him? Did you just have a good feeling about Jacob? Whatever your motive, your decision to befriend Jacob changed how everyone felt about you because they changed they way they thought of you. This decision turned you from the nice and quiet Camel to the smart and knowledgeable Camel. So, whatever made you decide to befriend him helped you greatly.
