*Seller and Buyer head into Room2*

(Moral of Story: Everyone gets something from somewhere. You get meat from a butcher, a butcher gets flesh from a hunter, a hunter gets animals from a forest, a forest gets inhabitants because of the sun, the sun gets life because if how the particles made it, and the particles because of the Big Bang. 

I don't know what caused the Big Bang, but that doesn't matter, because everything in the story happens after the Big Bang.)

(2nd Moral of Story: You can replace your eyes with other eyes.)
