The Man who Bought a Dream!

KIDS STORIES
About this episode

In this wonderful parable, we return to ethereal Japan! I found this story really interesting from the first read several months ago and it stayed in my mind. The tale tells us of a poor man who quite literally buys a dream from his friend, hoping it will bring him his fortune. The story appears in many different forms all over the world and has morphed in form along the way, but the general teachings remain the same, honesty, fairness, and integrity win the day in the end, and in a way I guess we all buy dreams in some form or other, and its a dream to bring this one to you all!
