But how can I choose which path
until I know much more?
Oh please, enlightened one -
do teach me, my mentor!
The sage looked up at me
and this is what he said,
"Those who choose the Second path
this road he will tread,
He lives the life of a Shaman
who is an excellent rainmaker.
A Shaman always finds a way,
that clever money-maker"
"A Shaman can invite a parrot
to grant the gift of the gab,
to charm his way around you
to make you pay for his tab.
By making an origami fold,
he turns it into a spider
that can spin the most intricate web
for his network to grow wider.
By tapping on his special bond
with animals of Mother Nature,
a Shaman uses his druidic power
to call a bonded creature."
"After the summoning smoke settles,
out comes a poisonous adder,
that can aid its bonded master
in the climbing of career ladder,
or a brightly feathered toucan
who just loves eating pecan,
that specialises in business ventures
to create a source of income.
The way of the Shaman
is to bring in so much dough,
that he doesn't have to try
to keep his expenses low."
"By boosting his total income,
and earning more than his peers,
he can save more in a year,
what others must do in years.
Shamans can have two options:
First to climb the career ladder
by invoking the special talent
of his summoned death adder.
Second to call a toucan
to build a business empire,
that rains a constant income
to lift his networth higher."
"Savings is what remains of income
after subtracting what you've spent.
While the philosophy of the Monk
is to live on just one cent,
the way of the Shaman
is to earn all that he can,
because being a hermit or a caveman
is never his game plan.
As long as he doesn't do silly things,
and keeps his spending in check,
the Shaman will win the rat's race
by the power of his paycheck."
"So young one, what do you think?
Do the Shaman's path call on you?"
I can feel his attention all on me.
Let me think first....... mmm....hmm....ewe
I don't think I'm a Shaman,
never had a gilded tongue.
So many animals tagging along,
Gosh, I don't want to step on dung.
Honestly, I don't mean to complain,
but being a shaman sounds so meh,
perhaps you can aid me once more
and show me the Wizard's way?
