I happened to be in a bar, which should have told me right away to be careful, but I had just gotten a raise that day and was in the mood to be without cares. He came to tell me a story so fanciful that you would laugh at me now if I told it to you, but I did not laugh then. No, indeed I became inraputured. As the man spoke to me of these far off places I found myself falling deeper and deeper into the mystery of it all. He told me that he had just come back on a sucsessful mission to retrieve a shipment priceless items and transport them to the Burkley Museum. My curiosity grew as to what the items were. "It was a great treasure," he told me, " That had just been retrieved from the tomb of a newly discovered mummy". Needless to say as his story drew on I began to see that this perhaps could work in my favor. I could be the first one to write a story on this. The next day I set to work and soon had what I considered to be front page news. After submitting it, I walked around on a cloud of happieness.
