Ilfaro the junk man

One day, Ilfaro the junk man saw a fine lady.

At first he followed her with his eyes. Then he followed her with his thoughts. Then he followed her with his dreams.

First he washed his hands. When his hands were clean he washed his clothes. When his clothes were clean he washed his house.

When all was clean, he asked her a question.

At first she said: You are Ilfaro the junk man. And he knew she had followed him with her eyes.

Then she tipped her head and said: You must have worked very hard to become prosperous. And he knew she had followed him with her thoughts.

And at last she said: Your house is beautiful. And he knew that she would follow him with her dreams.

She had, and she had, and she did.

And they are happy.
