Topic: the store by russell harding
a wealthy man lieing in his bed was troubled by his thoughts,he tossed and turrned for hours unable to fall asleep.finiely just before daybreak sleep engulfed him and a vison came to him,so vivid he thought he mad awaken.he found himself standing in front of a store and above the door the sign read"redemtion inc. and below in italics "everything you need" he opened the door and was greeted"good mornning sir welcome to redemtion" the clerk handed him a flier and pushed a gold shopping cart in front of him and walked away.he opened the flier and inside the list it read "on sale one to a customer the following items":love,honor.joy,humility,health respect,peace,friends,integrity,pureness of heart and inocence,and since he possed none of these things he filled his cart full.at the checkout counter the clerk totaled the contents up"how much asked the man for everthing"? all that you own responded the clerk,the man answered "your price is to high cant you be a little more resonable? "im afraid not the boss isn't very flexable"the man left the items on the counter"i'll come back some other time,dont wait to long said the clerk when he awoke he was disturbed so he went to his vault and fondled his gold and counted his money and was comforted,above a specter held an hourglass and waited silently as the sand filled the bottom.
