*Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. * 
 
 What no one mentions with this saying, is how sick of fish you will get. I am a man of a few skills. My parents were fishermen, their parents were fishermen, and generations before them were all fishermen. It is in my blood, and it is pretty much all that is in my blood: *Fish. * 
 
 In an effort to branch out and become more proficient with my skills, I decided to try and open a stall at the local farmers market. I had plenty of fish for sale, how could things go wrong? 
 
 A piece of advice, if you open a business, make sure you understand the skill of math, specifically the basics of addition and subtraction. As the day went on, more and more numbers got thrown around. I got confused, and in turn, I'm pretty sure I paid people to take my fish. How else can you explain starting the day with $ 50 for change, and at the end of the day I only had $ 10 and had `` sold'' all of my fish? 
 
 I packed up my stall and shoved the $ 10 into my pocket. `` Teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime... Look how well it's working for me.'' 
 
 I wandered the streets for a bit that day. I was looking for a pub, something to drain my sorrows with. There was a neon sigh I had never seen before along main street `` The Swap N' Buy''. 
 
 I shrugged my shoulders and mumbled under my breath as I opened the door. `` Maybe they sell booze.'' 
 
 `` Hellooooo Sir! I am the owner of this shop! Are you Looking to buy new skills, or maybe trade in your proficient skills to make a little money? It's a simple process. Simple indeed. You spend the money on what you want, and in 5 minutes you have the skill! Want to be a famous opera singer? One million dollars and 5 minutes later, you could be singing your own concerts!'' 
 
 I looked down at my pocket. I did n't understand numbers too well, but I knew a million dollars was way more than I had. `` I only have $ 10...'' 
 
 I saw his face flinch a bit when I said that, but he quickly recovered. `` No problem sir, no problem. You can easily trade skills here too. Reinvent yourself so to say. What kind of skills do you have?'' 
 
 `` I can fish.'' 
 
 `` Alright, let's see here... What type of fishing? Deep sea? Lake fishing?'' 
 
 `` All types I suppose, it's in my blood.'' 
 
 `` Ahhh! A master fisherman, great... Let's see. Based on the amount of time it would normally take to learn fishing, the amount of inborn talent needed, and the skill level of master, I can pay you $ 500. 
 
 `` $ 500! That's all it's worth!? What about the whole *teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime! * You ca n't live a lifetime off of $ 500!'' 
 
 `` You are right sir, it takes other skills to make that skill more valuable. For example, if you also sell me the skill to drive a boat, we can bundle it for $ 50,000. Would you be interested in that deal?'' 
 
 I looked down in embarrassment. `` I do n't know how to drive a boat. My pa does that. The only skill I really have is fishing. What can I buy with $ 10?'' 
 
 The owners face went from cheery to sour in the blink of an eye. `` Discount skills are in the bins next to the door.'' He then walked back over to his counter, plopped down in his chair, and started reading a newspaper. Obviously, I'm not the type of customer he was hoping for. 
 
 All of the skills in the bin were $ 10 or less, and I could see why. *How to whistle, how to tie your shoe, how to blow a bubble with bubble gum, how to eat with chopsticks. * The list went on with mediocre skills. I glanced up at the next tier of skills and saw *addition and subtraction* for $ 50... Just a little bit of salt in the wound when I saw that. 
 
 At the bottom of the bin, though, laid something strange. A small package with the title *time travel. * I could go back in time, use the $ 50 to buy the *addition and subtraction* skill, and actually make a business selling my fish! This will be perfect! 
 
 I carried my prize over to the clerk and slammed the $ 10 on the table. He chuckled a bit. `` Alright kid, let's download this into your brain.''

 I slammed the door open to the shop. `` What's the big idea selling me that crap!'' 
 
 The owner lifted his gaze up from his newspaper slightly confused. `` Can I help you?'' 
 
 I snarled `` That was n't a time travel skill!'' 
 
 `` Oh! I know who you are. You are the guy my grandfather told me about! He would be so happy to know you woke up!'' 
 
 I paused. `` I'm confused, are n't you the same guy I spoke to just the other day?'' 
 
 `` Oh you really are confused, are n't you... No no no. I have a very strong resemblance to my grandfather when he was my age. How many days do you think it's been since you have come to this shop?'' 
 
 `` Just yesterday...'' 
 
 He smiled, `` You have been asleep for 90 years. It's what it says on the package of the skill you bought. *Sleep so soundly, it is like* ***Time Travel***. You should have bought the skill of reading every detail kid.''
