I Will Take Two Bowls
Would you like a bowl of magical soup? Only ten dollars.
Ten dollars is a lot! What is in it?
I dare not divulge its secret ingredients. Only ten dollars.
Ten dollars is a bunch of money. What will I get?
For ten dollars this soup will make you smile, maybe laugh.
That is it?
It will also heal your heart, and aid in remembering good memories.
For only ten dollars? That is so cheap!
You are right. The price is now fifty dollars for a bowl of magical soup.
For a bowl of soup?
Yes.
Fifty dollars is a lot. What else will it give me?
It will heal all of your diseases.
Even diabetes?
Especially diabetes.
For only Fifty dollars? You should charge more.
Okay sir. Five hundred dollars for a bowl of magical soup.
I will take two bowls.
That will be one thousand dollars please.
