James Bond (my own adaptation)

It was 1953 in London, England. A British MI6 agent named James Bond had an American sidekick from Dallas, Texas named Felix Leiter who was a CIA agent. James treated Felix like an also ran. Whenever he would walk into a restaurant, he would say “The name’s Bond. James Bond” without acknowledging Felix. Whenever British women would line up to sign his autograph, he would only do it himself without ever asking Felix if he wanted to sign any autographs. He didn’t even sign both names. Instead, Felix acted more like a personal bodyguard or servant as opposed to an actual sidekick. One day, James Bond was told that the prime minister, king, and queen all needed his help because an artifact had been stolen from Buckingham Palace. “This looks like a job for” said James Bond. He paused with effect and proudly said his name. “What about me?” asked Felix Leiter. “Of course, come along!” said James Bond. As the two spies went to Buckingham Palace, Felix asked the king, queen, and prime minister what had been stolen. “The Golden Ruler. We can’t just allow a national treasure of ours to be stolen like that!” said the prime minister. “That sounds serious! Leave it to me to figure out! I’ll get in done in no time!” said James Bond. “No, leave it to us. We will get it done in no time!” said Felix Leiter. James Bond shrugged and said “Whatever you say!” As James Bond and Felix Leiter left Buckingham Palace, Felix Leiter walked away. “Where are you going, Felix?” asked James. “I’m taking an airplane and going back to the United States” answered Felix. “But why?” asked James. “Because if you’re such a great spy, why don’t you just solve this case by yourself and without my help?” said Felix. As he walked away, James pleaded for him to come back but there was no response. Days had passed and James couldn’t find the Golden Ruler. When he returned to Buckingham Palace, he told the king, queen, and prime minister, “I’m sorry but I couldn’t find it. I’ve searched everywhere”. “Not to worry! It’s been found by none other than another fine MI6 agent named Roger Higgins” said the king. Roger Higgins took various bows in front of the guards, king, queen, and prime minister while boasting that he should be knighted for his heroic deed. “Thanks Roger! I cannot thank you enough!” said James. “Of course!” said Roger. “You being arrogant and taking all of the credit for yourself reminded me of how cocky I was being with my sidekick, Felix Leiter and otherwise doing the same thing. I wasn’t treating him the way I would want to be treated” said James. “That’s all I wanted to hear” said a voice. “Who said that? Could it be?” said James. He looked behind himself and found Felix. “I never left you because I’m being a great friend and I knew you’d eventually come around!” said Felix. “I’m so sorry. Am I forgiven?” asked James. “Any time, buddy” said Felix. He continued by saying “I have discovered from footprints and investigations that the culprit is one of the guards! He has stolen the Golden Ruler and it’s underneath one of his hats! Not only that but the thief is a member of the Russian Mafia!” “What horrible news!” said the queen. “Ok, guards! Is anyone of you a member of the Russian Mafia and did any of you steal the Golden Ruler?” asked the prime minister. “No sir” they all answered. “Are you sure about this, Felix? After all, I trust all of them quite well” said the prime minister. “I’m very sure! I know one of them is lying! Ok, James, pick wisely for one of them has the Golden Ruler hidden under their hat. The Russian mobster might get moving of you don’t act fast enough” said Felix. James nodded and sure enough, he picked wisely by grabbing the Golden Ruler out of the first hat he investigated. The Russian mobster pleaded for mercy in his language as he was being handcuffed. As he was being escorted to jail, James read what the Golden Ruler had written on it. It read “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. James Bond then made a vow to never treat Felix Leiter like an asset again and instead, as a friend and teammate.
The end.
Closing Message: This story has a great Christian message behind it! It is in deed the Golden Rule of being a friend to treat others the way you want to be treated! At first, James Bond wasn’t really treating Felix Leiter like a friend. It also goes hand-in-hand with pride being one of the seven deadly sins. Felix Leiter was being a true friend by still sticking by James Bond’s side and forgiving him when he was truly sorry. James Bond never really intended to be hurtful but he came off that way. Always remember next time you tell a your momma joke or anything related: You may not intend anything malicious by it but it can come off that way. If you wouldn’t want someone else talking about you like that, why should you talk about someone like that?
