The store attracts numerous customers, each seeking different dreams. A farmer yearns for a bountiful harvest, a young woman dreams of romance and passion, an elderly man desires to relive his youth, and so on. The salesman skillfully sells them tailored dreams, and they leave with high expectations and anticipation.
However, as time goes by, the villagers realize that their dreams have not materialized, and they cannot fulfill their obligations to pay for them. Desperation and discontent spread in the town, and the salesman becomes more elusive. People grow bitter, blaming him for their empty promises and shattered hopes.
Facing resistance and hostility from the villagers, the salesman decides to leave town. On the eve of his departure, he gathers everyone for a farewell speech and reveals that he never intended to deliver the dreams. Instead, he aimed to teach them a lesson about the value of self-reliance and the consequences of relying on external solutions to their problems.
As he leaves, the salesman leaves behind a sign on his store that reads, "I sell you dreams, but only those you are willing to work for." This message encourages the villagers to confront their realities and inspires them to pursue their aspirations through hard work and determination, rather than depending on magical solutions or quick fixes.
"I Sell You Dreams" serves as a cautionary tale about seeking instant gratification and highlights the importance of personal responsibility and effort. It is a thought-provoking exploration of human desires, choices, and the consequences that follow.
