"Seven Cures for a Lean (Fendi) Purse"
( a paraphrased version of the third chapter of The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason for discussion)
Listen up ladies to the knowledge that I have to share. Debate it with me. Discuss it among yourselves. Learn these lessons thoroughly, so that you may also plant in your own Fendi purse the seed of wealth. First each of you start wisely to build a fortune of her own. Then will you be competent , and only then, to teach these truths to other ladies
I will teach you in simple ways how to fatten your Fendi purses ( and not with wrappers, reciepts, and make-up- but with cash!). This is the first step leading to the temple of wealth, and no woman may climb who cannot plant her feet firmly upon the first step.
Ladies, we shall now consider the first cure.
Start Thy Purse to fattening. (The only kind of fattening that we want to hear is our wallets, not out thighs, amen?)
You can see that there are many trades and labors at which women may earn cash. Each of the ways of earning is a stream of money from which the worker can divert by her labors a portion to her own Fendi purse. Therefore into the purse of each of you flows a stream of money large or small according to her ability. Am I right here girls?
Then if each of you desires to build for herself a fortune, is it not wise to start by utilizing that source of wealth which he has already established?
Now I will tell you the first remedy I learned to cure a lean Fendi purse. Do exactly as I have suggested...
For every ten dollars you place in your purse, only use nine. Your purse will start to fatten at once and it's increasing weight will feel good in your hot little hand and bring satisfaction to your soul.
