He has been very poor since last year. He lost all his money last year, so since last year he has needed money for school. Of course, he has had a worthwhile purpose for needing money. He’s had a worthwhile reason for needing money, during this whole time from last year up until recently. So Brad has needed money for school since last year and since last year he has had a worthwhile purpose. And during this time he has thought about money every day. He has tried to find a way to get more money, but he has failed. Since last year, up until recently, he has failed to get more money, so he has not been able to go to school. Well one day he got a great idea, he got a gun and he went to a convenience store. He went into the store, he pointed the gun at the clerk and he said “Give me some money!” And the clerk said “Now that’s a very imprecise request, how about some specificity? Don’t be ambiguous. Tell me exactly how much you want.” Well Brad was surprised and he was silent for a while. And then finally he said “I don’t know. Ah, bear with me while I think.” Well then Brad was silent again. He stood with the gun, thinking for a long, long time, thinking about the clerk’s question, the clerk’s request. He thought for seventeen and a half hours and then, finally, after seventeen and a half hours Brad asked for $7,298, precisely. And because Brad’s request was precise the clerk gave it to him. The clerk gave him exactly $7,298. Brad ran home. Then he ran to school with the money. He paid for school and he started to study again. Of course, Brad was very, very happy. What a happy story.
