Your lesson for today............

A young boy, fatherless and destitute, was sent to the market one day by his mother to buy eggs and butter. The boy's mother had given him the last few dollars they had and she was unsure how they would survive after this. The boy, upon arriving at the market was met by a man selling "Magic Beans." The man told the boy that these beans would grow and grow and grow and that they held special powers that would make him rich beyond his wildest dreams once they reached maturity. The boy, intrigued by this, bought the beans with the only money they had, and returned home. His mother, obviously dumbfounded by the boys decision, beat him with a stick, but that's neither here nor there. The boy then plants the beans and awaits his riches. Days go by without so much as a sprout. Days turn to weeks and still nothing. The boy, distraught by this turn of events, decides to return to the market with the slim hope of finding the man who sold him the beans. To his surprise, the man is still at the market, selling the beans. When he tells the man of his problem, the man tells him that he has some special water to give him that will expedite the growing process. The boy returns home, waters the beans as instructed, and waits. Again, weeks go by with no progress. The boy decides he should return to the market again, fully expecting the man to be gone by now. Again, to his surprise, the man is still there and this time, gives the boy a special fertilizer to use on the beans. This, surely, will create the desired effect. The boy returns home, does as instructed, and waits. After another week and no growth, the boy is depressed beyond belief. He's wasted the last few dollars his mother had, no magic beans, and no idea how they will survive. The boy returns to the market one last time, but this time, to beg for any scraps that he might be able to obtain. When he arrives at the market, he's shocked to see the man still there, selling the same beans. Furious, the little boy confronts the man about the beans. The man, surprisingly calm about the situation tells the boy that sometimes, these things happen. Then, he tells the boy, at wits end and despondent, that he plans to make the situation right. The boy wonders, how in the world can you make this right? The man then responds with the words that would ring in the boys ears for the rest of his life: "Well son, I guess I'll just have to refund your money."
