The Man, The Pig and the Axe
Once there was a man who liked bread in stacks, He would charge 3 key for a diamond axe.
One day a pig walked into his store, And told the man what he was looking for!
"I WANT AN AXE," the pig shouted out, "My other broke when I was out and about."
"I've got just what you need," the man said quick, "I'll sell you the axe and and throw in a free pick!"
"That's great," said the pig. "How much will it be?" "I'll sell it to you for just 3 key."
"3 key?" asked the pig. "That seems a bit much." The man replied, "It's high quality diamond, not iron and such!"
A moment passed before again the pig spoke. "Screw that!" He said, "This is a big joke."
Hearing this, the man's temper grew short, he threw the pig out, his face red and contort.
While the pig sulked off, he thought for a while. As he thought more and more, he started to smile!
"I'll show him!" The pig full of cheer. "I'll make my own axe with the resources here!"
While the pig was out gathering things for his axe, the man was out buying some more bread stacks.
The woman who served him was a master of stealth. "Changing looks a lot can't be good for your health?"
"I do alright," she replied with a smile. "Hey, why've you been upset all the while?"
"Oh, just a customer. He was being a dick. I mean, I even offered him a free pick!"
The man stopped speaking and there was a short pause. The woman then said, "It's his loss, not yours."
"I guess you're right." The man stood up. He left the money by his empty cup.
When walking to his shop he and the pig crossed paths, The pig was eager to show off his work of art!
The man glanced at the axe, then gave it a tap. "You used gems, you fool. Don't you know that they're crap?"
"What do you mean?" The pig replied. "I thought they were better than all other types"
"Diamond is the best. It's much stronger. Using diamond would last 1000 times longer!"
"But, if you want gems," he continued, "it doesn't bother me. Though with diamond you could chop down loads more trees."
"I WANT DIAMOND THEN!" The pig shouted once more. "Here's 12 key. I want to buy four!"
The man took the money and started to count it. "Thanks for the business" he said, and he chuckled a bit.
"I'm getting the axes," said the man, "I'll be back in a tick." He then returned with four axes and a pick.
