A Sioux Indian was traveling through San Francisco one day when he ended up in a strange little curio store deep in the heart of China Town.
While looking around in amazement at all the wonderful things the old Chinese man had to offer, his gaze fell on a small, bronze, rat.
“How much do you want for the rat” the Minnesotan asked the elderly shopkeeper.
“Only a humble $3 for that special rat, and $500 for the story that goes with it” said the shopkeeper.
“I’ll take it, said the bemused Native American, but just the rat, I don’t care about the story that goes with it.” he said.
After leaving with the rat in his pocket, the Surprised young Sioux discovered a couple of rats following him down the street.
He quickened his pace a bit but as he walked further, more and more rats started chasing him. By the time he got to the bay, there were thousands of rats chasing him. So he climbed up a pole, reached into his pocket, grabbed the bronze rat and threw it far out into the water where it hit with a splash and disappeared forever.
To his amazement, all the rats jumped into the water after it and quickly disappeared.
The Sioux man quickly returned to the mysterious little store and burst through the doors, slightly out of breath.
“Ahh” said the china man with an eerie chuckle; “so now you would like to hear the story of the bronze rat, eh?”
“No” said the Sioux quickly, “I just came back to see if you had any bronze white men!”
