Strength


"Mickey, you can have the strength of two studs, but that will cost you a fortune."

"DokSaab, take any money, but Jane should be fully satisfied."

He gave me a box of golden capsules, five hundred bucks apiece, to be taken one hour before going to Jane. Even I was astonished with my performance. Jane told I never had that much strength before.
Soon I reached the last capsule. Curious monkey that I am I opened the capsule to see what’s inside. I tasted the white powder and immediately recognised, Glucose !!.

"You cheat", I barged into DokSaab’s chamber, shouting. "You sold me glucose capsules as power pills."

"But they worked, monkey, didn’t they."

"Yes, but.."

"See the real strength was in your mind. I just made you believe in your strength. Those capsules wouldn’t have worked had I sold them at 5 rupees."
