You are standing in line at the grocery store, and there’s a
tap on your shoulder. There is a man standing behind you. But you don’t know
him. You’ve never seen him before in your life. So you turn back around, he
taps you on the shoulder again. And this time when you turn around he says I
can make your wildest dream come true. You think to yourself the mayor of crazy
town is behind me. You pay for your groceries, and go to the parking lot. The
man follows you, and he says I can make your wildest dreams come true, do you
want your dreams to come true.
So you decide to play along. You say how can you make all of
my dreams come true? Nobody is able to do that. He repeats himself. So you say,
why are you asking me? Everyone has crazy dreams that they want to come true.
He doesn’t respond he just looks at you. You continue to put your groceries
away, and you wish that he just stands there.
As you start to get into your car he says don’t you want
your dreams to come true? You sigh, thinking how I get rid of this crackpot.
But you reply with of course I do, but what’s the catch? There’s no catch the
man claims, so I ask how much does it cost? It costs nothing he claims. Well it
costs nothing right now. Ah, I think there’s the catch. He says it may cost
everything, or it may cost nothing. And he claims I’ll never know unless I take
his offer.
So my question to all of you is do you take the offer?
