Wallet Full Of Dreams

He was tall, old and distinguished.
Dropped a wallet that contained no money by the bum of a teenager who sat on a street footpath.

"Get lost!" yelled the teenager.

Calmly, the old man explained, " I gave you something for nothing. That wallet is made of the finest leather. It will last a lifetime. Steal it and you will be disappointed. Try to sell it and no-one will buy it. Keep it, and soon you will find something worthwhile to put inside of it.

The wallet is empty now, I no longer need it. It was once full of memories, success, failures and dreams. Take it, it's yours."

The old man walked away. The teenager got off his bum and put the wallet in his back pocket. He got something for nothing that will turn into something soon enough.
