`` Im rick dragonson and this is my lawn shop. I work here with my old man, and my son: big haus. Everything in here has a legend, and a price. One thing ive learned after 21 years, you never know whats gon na come through that gate.'' 
 
 Sitting in the shop one day a man walks in. Comes straight to the counter and lays a giant broad sword on the table. Im taken a bit aback by how forward he is. `` What do we have here?'' I ask already knowing the title of the sword on my countertop. `` This, is the original'excaliber''' he says trying to make it sound wonderous. I pick up the world and inspect it a little. Ornately crafted, but still battle worthy, the sword is old enough to be excaliber. `` Mind if I call in an expert? I have a buddy who knows all about these old swords.'' I ask the man who agrees. A few minutes later an old wizard walks into the store `` Merlin!'' I saw sounding glad to see an old business partner. Merlin strides up the the table and picks up the sword unceremoniously inspects it. `` Hmm... its a good fake. Definitely not the real deal. But certain collectors like recreations. Plus it's definitely battle worthy. One of these would sell on the market for...'' there's a long pause as the man waits in anticipation. `` 5 gold pieces.'' The man looks angry. `` This is the real deal. My great grandfather pulled it from the stone himself!'' Merlin with a twinkle in his eye laughs and says `` who do you think made the thing. I did. Watch, the real excaliber will stick into the ground and only the true heir will be able to pull it out, if you are his descendant you should be able to pull it free.'' After a bit more discussion we got outside and merlin slams the sword into the ground. The man pulls it free with no problem and says `` see!?'' Merlin taking the sword and plunging it back to the earth says `` that proves nothing.'' As he gestures for me to pull it out. One good tug and the sword is free. The man looking defeated says `` just give me 6 gold pieces and its yours.'' I inspect the sword a bit and say `` I can sell it for 5. Best I can do for you is 2.'' The man sighs and says `` sure.. 2 is good.'' I give him his gold pieces and he goes on his way. Walking inside with merlin i ask `` How did you know id be able to pull it out?'' Merlin chuckles, the sword doesnt stick unless I put a spell on it. Should fetch a fine price. I can expect my usual finders fee?'' Shrugging i reply `` yeah, yeah 1 %.'' As I put the sword in the case labeled'The real excaliber: 50,000 gold pieces.' 
 
 As I finish a man walks up and says he's got something I might be interested in. I follow him outside and as I see it I find myself repeating my old motto. `` I do n't do seige weapons.'' Standing in front of me in a 30ft tall monster of a trebuchet. `` Sorry man, I'm not interested.'' Behind me I hear my son `` I do n't know pops, I might be.'' `` Big haus, what are you gon na do with a trebuchet?'' `` Who knows I might throw a giant wooden rabbit over the castle walls.'' I throw my hands up showing im washing my hand of this and go inside. 20minutes later big haus informs me he bought the monstrosity for 10,000 gold pieces. `` Do you know if it even works?'' I ask him already writing of the money as lost forever. `` Well... no.'' He replies `` but that's half the fun, we can fire it to see.'' 
 
 So there we are, the end of the day. This trebuchet set up ready to throw a pumpkin. It takes the whle crew to man this beast, but finally its ready. Big haus starts the count down `` 3. 2. 1.'' And pulls the lever. *woosh! * the arm springs forward launching the pumpkin out over the castle walls into the village outside, its truely a sight to behold. Just as the cry of victory leaves big haus' mouth sure enough the arm of the launcher breaks clean in half. The weight is thrown to the ground ropes snap all over the place. When all is said and done nothing is left thats bigger than a 2by4... `` Its coming out of your pay.'' I laugh as we roll to credits.
