The Hot Dog Seller

Once upon a time many years ago in the here and now in a far away land that’s just next door, there's a hot dog vendor who sold very fine hot dogs by the side of the road. His business was booming, people loved his hot dogs, and they bought more and more.

The man believed in his business and the service he provided. This man was so busy advertising and selling his hot dogs and making lots of money, that he didn't even have time to read the newspaper or listen to the radio. Consequently, he never heard a word about a predicted recession or the need to cut back to save the economy. As long as he continued to offer his delicious hot dogs, his customers bought them. He kept selling, and they kept buying.

Then one day his well-educated son TOLD him that an economic recession was coming. His son TOLD him that people wouldn't have enough money to buy his hot dogs. And the hot dog vendor BELIEVED this, so he stopped advertising. He stopped trying to sell his tasty hot dogs. He started ordering less. He even went so far as to take down the sign at his roadside stand. And sure enough, people stopped coming to him. People stopped buying his hot dogs, and he went broke. Then he thought to himself. "How smart my son is, predicting this."
