Fairy tale: The cowboy, the prince and the traveller
The story of the cowboy, the prince and the traveller
It was a sunny day,
and the cowboy and the prince were standing in front of a bar as a traveller came out of the bar and asked the cowboy for a forbidden medicine. The cowboys eyes were red and his mood good and the traveller knew that he might get lucky and obtain what he was looking for.
And so it happened. They were chatting and the prince who spoke his language explained that he travelled the seven seas and that although he didn't like the fact that everyone treated him as a prince the farmers would always see in him someone of higher status.
The traveller brought new technology to the secluded place. A website where people could easily get familiar with a new form of gold which was in the form of bits and bytes and could be traded worldwide through a network of cables and satellites by only using a phone.
He talked about it and the cowboy was interested and as they made an appointment the cowboy asked the traveller a few times if he would give him a guarantee to be at the agreed place and they were shaking hands to seal the agreement.
The perfect day became even better as they took a trip to a height were they smoked the medicine and got into an intoxication they enjoyed.
Later they went back to the village and drank spirits. The traveller made videos and prepared an article to let the people of the new gold know about it. When he was about to leave he asked the cowboy if he would come to the meeting and he replied that he wouldn't after the prince said something to the cowboy in the foreign language. The traveller was disappointed but accepted the decision of the cowboy. But there was something else the traveller was concerned about. He thought that the prince manipulated the cowboy.
It happened to be that the cowboy worked for the prince and took care of all of his cows. The prince told the cowboy that the new gold wouldn't be good and that he would need him to make the other people work and therefore the cowboy changed his mind and decided against meeting with the traveller.
When the traveller realized that the prince didn't respect the decission of the cowboy and also treated him disrespectfully, he stood up from the table and left. On the way he wished them a good night but at the same time he knew that it would take him a long time, if ever, in order to speak with them again.
