| It
is
the month of June, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and
the
little town looks totally deserted. These
are tough times, everybody
is in debt and everybody lives on
credit. Suddenly,
a
rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro
note on
the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order
to pick
one. The
hotel
proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the
butcher. The
Butcher
takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower. The
pig
grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the
supplier of
his feed and fuel. The
supplier
of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to
the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services"
on credit. The
hooker
runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the
hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought
her
clients there. The
hotel
proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the
rich tourist will not suspect anything. At
that
moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and
takes
his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms,
and
leaves town. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how business is done today. |
