Is there a thing you own that’s priceless to you?
Mike decided to sell the last valuable thing he had left – his Olympic medal. The pawn shop owner, upon seeing Mike dressed in rags and sitting in a banged-up wheelchair, immediately said the medal was a fake. “How could someone like you have such a thing?”, he asked with a grin. Mike explained that he was an Olympic champion, so the medal was the real deal. The owner scoffed and offered him a hundred bucks for it. His assistant, however, quietly pointed out that the trophy was made from real gold, so it was worth much more. The owner giggled and whispered that it was simply a good chance to rip off a customer who couldn’t do anything about it.
Mike accepted the tiny bit of cash and left. But what had happened didn’t sit right with the assistant.
