A time before time, the devil lives among men.
As we all know, the character of the devil is that he will not be satisfied unless he causes mischief.
He brings so much sorrow to his fellow beings. He is a person full of witty ideas and very cunning in character.
Initially, everyone was happy with his invention of paper money as they don't have to carry their coins and golds whenever they go to the merchants for goods. The devil was brought to stardom with his paper money. Soon, people realized that the paper money makes them spend more than what they have or capable to earn, or in other words "living above their means."
As everyone surrenders their gold and silver to the devil, he owns the world's gold, but everyone else lives on paper money that is an "IOU notes", which is akin to "fiat money" or in layman terms "toilet paper."
The devil did a lot of tricks, maneuvres, and schemes to encourage more usage of paper money and making the people surrender their hard cash, asset and even to sell their soul to him.
The devil created myriads of inventions like astral travel, magical bag and even conjured genie to be sold to the ordinary folks. His motto is "money makes the world go round".
He bombarded the common folks with great and eloquent marketing and promises such as potions to bring you to stardom or even to make experienced woman youthful again.
After some time, all the people in the downtown become the devil's slaves and the devil as their master "peter piper" except a young boy.
The boy realized that the devil is "wolves in sheep clothing."
As the devil has enslaved everyone, he decided to enslave the boy too and in his thinking, this should be a piece of cake.
He showed the boy, all the wonders, he aka the devil could perform. He turned ordinary papers into millions. Yet, the boy is not convinced.
So, the devil continues.
As the devil will not be satisfied until he had it all, as "those who love silver, will not be satisfy with silver."
He brought the boy to a theme park, known as a magical kingdom, where all dream comes true and showed the boy, the power of money, whereby he lavished money on the boy to the full of the boy's desire. Yet, the boy is not convinced by "money enslavement" from the devil.
At last the devil, offered the boy "sell me your soul and i will make you the king of the king of all i have."
The boy just looked at him and asked, "can i go to sleep now, after such a long trip for tonight as i am very tired and sleepy."
The devil, just shake his head and walked away in anguish..."oh my, oh my, what a difficult boy."
Moral of the story : You cannot outsmart the devil, but you can outpatient the devil.
Be Bless,
Dr Lion.
