Matt is an extremely fast learner and has a natural businesss sense about him. Cappy takes a liking to the boy, but is determined to teach him a few lessons to give him his "cumuppance." These "lessons" give rise to hilarious situations in which Matt always gets the upper hand.

Cappy retires but the romance of the sea and business keep calling him back -- and he comes back strong.

This great short story was originally written nearly 100 years ago. It has been modernized but the message still holds true. It tells the story of a young soldier and the old businessman he impresses. The result is a great message about the outcome of determination and hard work.
