The Man Who Loved a Rock
Once, there was a man who loved a rock. Of all the rocks stuck in the pavement of the road, he loved this one best of all. In his mind she was the roundest, the smoothest, the most deeply and brightly colored, and for him, there could be no other. Every day he sat in the middle of the road and poured his love out to the rock—and it was never the same rock twice. Because, in all honesty, even to the most devoted and passionate eye, the millions of tiny pebbles that make up the road are nearly indistinguishable from one another. The man, of course, had no idea that he was such a fickle lover, and so he and his rock lived happily ever after.
And you thought it would be boring to work in a MiniMart stuck out in the middle of the desert...Paul and Anne, the employees of the Austin Salt Flats MiniMart, know better. The fables brought to them by their customers come in as wide a variety of flavors as the tellers themselves, from the light and sweet to the dark and bitter, from the whimsical to the comical to the maniacal to the philosophical.
