Summer and The Miser

Once, a golden staircase descending from the sun, Mother Summer, dressed in a golden bikini and wearing a big golden sun hat, golden sunglasses and sandals walked down onto the Earth.
She had come to see a Miser who always locked himself away in his house and ask him why he would not go out and enjoy the sun.
But when she knocked upon his door he only shouted,
"Bah! Go away! I'm too busy to answer the door to anyone".
"But its me, Mother Summer", she said, "Won't you come outside and see me? See the golden sunlight and the beautiful green earth".
"No", said the Miser, "I will not. The only golden light I'm interested in is the golden gleam of my coins; the only green I care about is my green bank notes".
"Well then", said Mother Summer, "If you will not come out then I will come in".
And so Mother Summer went to a window at the front of the house and started to shine through it.
The moment she did however, the Miser shut the cutains of the window shutting her out and then he ran about shutting all the other curtains so she couldn't get in.
"Ha!", he shouted, "You won't get in that easily".
But then, searching all around the misers house Mother Summer found a hole in the roof that, because the Miser had been too miserly to pay a roofer, he had never had fixed and shining through it, first of all she touched his pile of gold and making her fingers white hot she melted the gold so that it ran off of the misers counting table and under a crack in the door then she touched his pile of green banknotes making them burst into flames and the fire she started was so fierce that it was not long until all the banknotes were burned to ash.
"What have you done!", shouted the miser, stamping upon the banknotes and trying to put them out that way because he didn't want to waste water, "You thief. You've taken away my fortune".
"Life is your fortune", said Mother Summer, "The time you have upon this earth and you squander it by locking yourself away inside".
But the Miser wouldn't listen. Instead he went up stairs and started to mend the hole in the roof that the sun had got in through, telling her,
"Get out and stay out!".
Mother Summer was very sad.
"What made the miser so cold hearted", she wondered.
But then, suddenly, she had an idea.
Whizzing round and round at the speed of light she transformed herself into a salesman dressed in gold and knocked upon the misers door again.
"Go away mother Summer", he shouted angrilly, "I told you already that I don't want to come outside".
"Oh but I'm not mother Summer", she said, putting on a male voice to go with her salesmans appearance, "I'm a salesman selling very special spectacles".
"A spectacle salesman?", asked the miser, "What do I need spectacles for? My eyes are just fine and I don't have any money to waste on such nonsense. Go away".
"Oh but these are magical spectacles that show you where gold is hidden", said the salesman.
Suddenly, the door of the Misers house opened and he came out smiling greedily.
"Well why didn't you say so man?", he said, "How much do this spectacular spectacles cost?".
"Oh its a try before you buy deal, sir", said the Salesman reaching into his bag, taking out a pair of gold coloured spectacles and holding them out to the Miser, "If these glasses don't work just as I've promised then you don't have to pay me a single penny for them".
The Miser rubbed his chin in thought,
"Not a penny eh?", he said to himself, "Why this salesman is a fool. Hee-hee! I shall just take his spectales, pretend they don't work and then keep them for nothing".
But then, grabbing hold of the spectacles, the miser put them on and, the moment he did, to his amazement the Miser saw gold everywhere, infact the whole world seemed to be made of glittering gold.
"I don't believe it", he said, "Everything is golden".
"It always has been", said the salesman turning back into Mother Summer, "You just never saw it before".
And once the Miser had seen the true value of the world his eyes were opened so that he did not even need the glasses to see it.
Then, so filled with joy was he that the Miser took Mother Summer by the hand they danced round and round.
Ofcourse because Mother Summer was invisible to everyone else they just thought he was full of the joy of life.
Indeed everyone said they had never seen him so happy and they all said to him, "You must have won the lottery to make you so happy".
"Not at all", replied the Miser, "Infact I do not have a penny to my name but I have found something even more precious than gold".
