The Pen is Mightier
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 28103
|
In order to get Belboz to continue his story, Fred had to cough up another
gold piece. But he had no cash on him. Fortunately, Belboz had agreed to
take a check, as Fred did bring his checkbook along with him.
Unfortunately, Fred had forgotten to take a pen.
“Got a pen?”
“It’ll cost ya…5 gold to borrow it.”
“WHAT?”
Belboz shrugged. “It’s a seller’s market down here, bub.”
“But I just told you…I have no more money on me.”
“My, that’s a fine pocketwatch you are carrying. *cough cough*”
“This pocketwatch is an antique! It’s worth several times 5 gold!”
“I understand. Now, if you’ll move along I need to make room for my
paying customers.”
Fred sighed. What choice did he have? He handed over the pocketwatch,
and Belboz gleefully handed Fred a pen.
