Once there was a man who lived in a small hut on the edge of the village.
If asked, he could tell people exactly how they could achieve anything they wanted.
Now if this was an epic saga, it would tell of heroes who asked all the right questions and went on to achieve their hearts’ desires.
Instead, this is a tale based in gritty social realism, which means very few people ever got round to asking him anything.
And those that did always had a good excuse for not acting on his advice, so continued to live their lives unfulfilled.
