A tourist wandered into a dimly-lit old San Fransisco antiques shop down in china town Perusing the shelves he discovered an amazingly life-sized and life-like bronze sculpture of a rat He had to have it and asked the shopkeeper how much it cost 12 for the rat said the shopkeeper and 500 more for the fascinating story behind it Old man you can keep the story the tourist replied but I`ll take the rat As he left the store with the bronze rat two live rats emerged from the sewer and started following him The tourist looked over his shoulder and began walking faster but more and more rats started following him As people pointed and shouted the tourist was in a panic Walking faster and faster he soon began to run as the rats started appearing from old abandoned cars basements and sewers He ran as fast as he could to the waterfront as millions of squealing rats kept up with him With his last bastion of strength he scrambled up a lampost and with all his might hurled the bronze rat far out into the bay whereupon the squealing rats surged over the breakwater into the sea and drowned Gathering himself together he trundled back to the shop Ah so you`ve come back for the rest of the story said the shop owner with a wise grin No replied the tourist But I was wondering whether you carried bronze lawyers?
