If you were to change the ending of the story ‘After Twenty Year' what would it be. Write in about 60-80 words

An alternative ending to the story could be that Bob recognized Jimmy and left a note for him.

Explanation:

After Twenty Year is a short story written by O. Henry. The story is about two fast friends, Jimmy and Bob, who decide to meet exactly at the same place after twenty years. The ending that O. Henry gave to the story was Jimmy, who had become a cop, get his friend Bob arrested, a most wanted criminal.

An alternative ending to the story could be that Bob recognized Jimmy and left a note for him. It can be an alternative ending because Bob recognized that the tall man was not Jimmy because of his nose, then he must have recognized Jimmy's features as well.

So, an alternative ending is written below,

After the cop and Bob bid each other a good night, Bob stood there in the dark silent night. Bob had recognized the cop and knew he was Jimmy, his old friend. The irony of the situation was that they both recognized each other but could not reveal their identity because of the professions they have taken. One had become a faithful cop of his city, New York; while the other had taken on a profession of crime in the West.

So, after the cop left the place, Bob was happy to see his old friend after a long time. Bob also knew that Jimmy has recognized him, the most wanted criminal of the West. So, he left a note for him because he knew that he would make arrangements for his arrest.

The note said:

Dear Jimmy,

I had a great twenty minutes with you. I had recognized you and also knew that you recognized me and knew what profession I have taken.

I am happy that you still a man of your word, you fulfilled your promise by coming and meeting me. And, I also know that you are a faithful cop.

So, I am leaving this note for you!

Bye!

Bob.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
