For some people, buying things is nothing to do with money: they simply buy what they want to. If they see a car whose colour matches with their favourite suit, they buy the car. If their stressful lives in the city do not let them enjoy life to the full, they book a couple of weeks in a five-star hotel somewhere in the
However, imagine there was a shop that sold people?s dreams. Imagine you could buy somebody?s dream and make it come true, which one would you buy? Would you buy a romantic dream or a gory dream? Would you buy a happy dream or a sad one? Would you buy a dream that made you laugh or one that made you cry?
If you could buy a dream that could change the world, would you buy it? What about if you had to pay with your own life?
Dream-Pedlary
by Thomas Lowell Beddoes (1803-1849)
| IF there were dreams to sell, | |
| What would you buy? | |
| Some cost a passing bell; | |
| Some a light sigh, | |
| That shakes from Life's fresh crown | 5 |
| Only a rose-leaf down. | |
| If there were dreams to sell, | |
| Merry and sad to tell, | |
| And the crier rang the bell, | |
| What would you buy? |
