After bathing and dressing neatly, Igor and Kadi went to the cabin to find Old Cole again.
They were very shocked when they saw Old Cole once more.
Old Cole had changed all his clothes to brand new ones, and his beard was shaved clean, looking completely refreshed.
This change left Igor and Kadi quite surprised; they almost couldn't recognize Old Cole.
"What's wrong?" Old Cole asked when he saw Igor and Kadi's astonished expressions.
"Uh, we almost didn't recognize you, Mr. Cole."
"You look at least ten years younger, no, maybe even twenty years." Kadi remarked, feeling he wasn't exaggerating at all, but rather being conservative.
"I just shaved my beard." Old Cole said as he touched his cheek. He was also a bit surprised by Igor and Kadi's astonishment. However, their reaction told Old Cole that a person can look very different depending on whether they have a beard or not; a young man with a beard might appear old, whereas an elderly man without a beard might look young.
