Fantastic Fables

The Prerogative of Might

An Inflated Ambition

Rejected Services >

The President of a great Corporation went into a dry-goods shop and saw a placard which read: 

“If You Don’t See What You Want, Ask For It.”

Approaching the shopkeeper, who had been narrowly observing him as he read the placard, he was about to speak, when the shopkeeper called to a salesman: 

“John, show this gentleman the world.”
