Knife-Seller on Credit

As the times change, many old trades gradually disappear into the river of history. Yet behind each ancient trade lies many untold stories and secrets. The debt-owed knife seller is exactly such an ancient and mysterious trade. They carry all kinds of knives, walking the streets and alleys, traveling everywhere, selling knives on credit only and never collecting money up front!

“I’ll lend you a knife; come collect the payment in three years!” But the number of people who truly wait for the knife seller to come collect is very small. Many people think they’ve gotten some great bargain, but they have no idea what they have actually lost~~~
