'Into town..' You thought.
You were walking when you began to hear music. It sounded like someone singing? Starting to head twords the strange noise, you saw a man wearing a funny looking scarf playing the guitar! He wasn't bad at all, in fact, he was pretty good! You finly thought that you would buy his.. Uh... Scarf.. Thingie... Out of pity for the poor guy.
________________
Pulling out what cash you had from your pocket, you walked up to him. You were prepared to buy what was now known to you as a 'Thneed' (Learnt through song).
"Hey," you began,
"May I ask how much how much the 'Thneed' is?"
"Oh. Oh! Yes! Its uh.. I haven't thought of a price yet..." He said, his words becoming less enthusiastic as he went on.
'Poor guy,' you thought.
"How about I just give you whatever I've got on me? That should come out to about... $40?" You said.
"No way, that's way too much. I can't take that." He said, raising his hands in a refusing manner.
"Deal or no deal," you stated.
"Are you uh.. Sure?"
Handing him the money, you put your hand out for the product. He gave it to you, and showed you a bunch of ways to use it. This guy had some sort of.. Charm to him. You were surprised that he hadn't sold more items by now.
______________
After talking to him for a while, you learned that he was The Onceler! Rather odd name, huh? You told him yours, and exchanged contact information. You both said your goodbyes, and watched him run home for the day. Until you realized that he was heading a familiar way, to the forest YOU lived in! You decided that you were gonna follow him and see how far he lived from you.
