Larrso Delgrin
they told him
it was talked about for years
they sought to inspire
a new way of thinking
people the world over
would be amazed
they had found the secret
a recipe only God
had known.
they found a way to make Gold
from fish oil
and seawater.
tons and tons of
oil and water to
added to simple ingredeints
ike barley straw
using expensive machines
to extract the minerals that
make gold.
they showed the rich man the sample
he pondered and asked.
how is it that you have made this
and need money to make more
why is this: he asked.
the salemen, spoke saying.
the man who sponsered the orginal
finding past away, and his estate is poor
from funding this endeaver.
the rich man said, why do you need me?
can't you make enough goold to fund your needs?
the men anwsered, the machine needs repair
and the parts are expesive and rare.
they offered the rich man the nuggets to study, and said
we have more,
but we need money to create what we will need to replace, they asked the rich man if
'he was interested.
he paused and said. Yes I'm interested
but
I wil;l bring you fishes and saltwater and straw
and moneey to were you will meet me.
then I shall take possesion of your devise.
they agreed and spoke of a meeting place and a time to meet.
days later the men, both side left on their horses to the meeting place.
the rich man arrived first and set-up camp and waited for the inventers.
he waited and waited and then
the men came to the meeting place.
he asked them were is the gold and machine.
they told him a story, about ten men on horses, and five wagons
they took the gold and the machine. he asked the rich man to go to the King
and tell him, that their machine and gold had been taken from them.
The rich man paused and spoke,
" now if I do that: I'd be in trouble to, how much a fool do you think I' am"
