A businessman that was born in China decided to come to America to expand his bank account and find new job opportunities. He hopped on the next flight to America, brought one suitcase and a knot of money. He was pretty fluent with the language known as Chinglish, so he felt like he would be able to communicate with the Americans. The moment he landed he was swarmed by many obese Americans holding a Pepsi in one hand with French fries in the other. He found this to be extremely disgusting, especially with the grease dripping from their hands. After that awful experience at the airport, he decided to do parergon to make a little extra money. He decided to do an archaeological dig because he thought there were some valuable findings in America. He than hired a small army of trowel fodder to work on the site, and of course no set of workers would be complete without a couple poot butts. He worked them like dogs and he was ruthless towards them feeling that the only way to earn money is through hard work. The businessman also stepped in to help thinking that the only way to get something done is to do it by himself. The sun was beaming down on the workers and sweat was dripping from their faces and water seemed to be scarce at the moment. They were digging for what seemed to be an eternity, but never found anything of value. The workers felt like they were the slaves at the desert. At this point, there seemed like there was no hope for this archaeological dig to be successful until the businessman ran across a bluebird. This bluebird was willing to buy this entire work site from the businessman because he thought that this working site was filled with long lost treasures. The businessman lied to the bluebird, telling him that there are a lot of treasures here. The businessman than came to the realization that hard work only gets you so far and that you will always need to lie to someone to get what you want. This was the American dream to the businessman born in China.
