Looking around at the exotica, he notices a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must have it. He took it to the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?" "Twelve dollars for the rat, one thousand dollars for the story," said the owner. He gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story." As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following him down the street. This was disconcerting; he began walking faster. But within a couple blocks, the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.He began to trot toward the river, looking around to see that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster. Concerned, even scared, he ran to the edge of the Delaware River and threw the bronze rat as far out into the river as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the river after it and were all drowned.The man walked back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," said the owner, "You have come back for the story?""No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a ugly bronze Panther." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
