The Humble Onion

Sam is a poor humble onion farmer…..

… barely scraping by on his small plot of land.

One day he learns about an exotic country far away where no one has ever seen an onion, so Sam decides to go for broke. He loads up his entire onion crop into a wagon and sets off on a journey.

He travels for three weeks across mountains, deserts and forests. Finally, Sam comes to the country where no one has ever seen an onion and he asks to meet the king. He shows the king his onions and fries up a sliced onion for him. The king absolutely loves it and orders that a feast be held with a wide variety of onion dishes. The people of the country go crazy over the onions. They declare onion their national food and start planting onion fields.

To show their gratitude, the king gives Sam a wagon full of gold and sends him back home. Sam returns to his village with his newfound wealth and tells everybody about his wonderful faraway land where onions are worth more than gold. Sam’s neighbor, Fred, is a poor, humble garlic farmer.

He thinks, if these people like onions so much, then they’re going to love my garlic. So Fred loads his entire garlic crop into a wagon and travels for three weeks across mountains, deserts and forests. He comes to the onion country and asks to meet the king. Fred shows the king his garlic and fries some garlic in a pan for him. The king goes nuts and orders a garlic feast. The people are ecstatic, raving about this delicious garlic. They love the garlic so much that they give Fred something worth even more than a wagon full of gold. A wagon full of onions.
