"I don't know, this is a hard
sell for me," I told the shopkeeper.
"I promise you, you'll never
regret this purchase," the shopkeeper brandished his product. "This
potion will grant the greatest of vitality. You'll never feel the pangs of
exhaustion ever again." He dangled the potion between his thumb and index
finger, a green liquid swirled inside the glass bottle.
"I just couldn't sleep well
tonight if I spent this much money on a single potion," I admitted.
"Ah, no need to worry," he
flourished his robes, "it is also a sleeping aid. You'll sleep more soundly
than a baby in its mother's arms."
"I thought it was supposed to
increase vitality and prevent exhaustion," I noted. "How can it both
keep me awake and put me to sleep?"
"It can do both," he
assured me.
"This isn't the kind of
stimulant that'll make me crash a few hours I take it, is it?" I inquired.
"Nonsense, it is a miraculous
all-purpose potion," the shopkeeper sweated. "It has no such side
effects."
"This is sounding more and more
like a scam," I exclaimed.
"Have a little faith, this is a
genuine miracle potion," he declared.
"Oh yeah, what's it made
of?" I replied.
"Why snake oil of course,"
the shopkeeper revealed proudly. "The most versatile substance in the
world!"
"Really?" I sighed, I
couldn't tell if he was serious or not.
