“You’re kidding me. This is it?”
“Just what you see.”
“Pitiful.”
“To you, maybe. But just you wait a while. Even wormy apples look good once you’re hungry enough.”
“Seriously, what happened? This is the worst I’ve seen it.”
“My truck was waylaid. I had to give up most of the cargo. I was lucky to get away with as much as you see here.”
“Times are hard.”
“And getting harder. In a few weeks, this might seem like the good old days.”
“I suppose so. I guess I’ll take three of those apples, then.”
“Fine. That’ll be sixty Euro.”
It’ll be happening everywhere soon, I fear.
Oy. Well drawn!
Incrementally and inexorably headed in that direction.
Hard times indeed, yes hard times indeed
I believe I know why the trucks are being waylaid…
That’s a hell of a price for apples, wormy or not!
At least you get free meat with the apples even if it is only worm!
Here’s mine!
Apples a way to expensive, I’ll only take the worms, their free. Looks like I’ll be fishing tonight. Well penned. 🙂
Supply and demand. Nice tie in.
