Dan and Doug in the Holy Land

Dan and Doug in the Holy Land - Dan Goes to the Market

Several days into Dan and Doug's trip to the Holy Land, they got to go to the market place. The market is big and busy dozens of tourists including Dan are busily running around rummaging through everything trying to buy as much worthless junk as they can to impress their friends back home with they come back with an authentic piece of Noah's ark. Doug stands by near a fruit stand, comparing prices and considering which sort of strange imported fruit he should give a shot at. On the other side of the street there is a dark looking shop full of the occult.
Dan marches toward the dark looking store on the side.
The occult shop has strange beads across its door, and Dan has to push them aside to get in. The shop is full of amazingly strange and bizzare religeous artifacts from tattered bits of Jesus's robe to chunks of Adam's rib. The boney occult dealer stands to one side of the shop. He has a trained monkey standing on his shoulder. There is also several scary masks in the place. Across the street is the fruit stand and near by is the center of the market.
Dan takes his octopus hat off his head and looks it over and offers it to the occult dealer.
"Ahh," said the man with a sudden smile, "A special item this is."
"A family heirloom," commented Dan.
"I see," said the dealer, "I will trade you this tribal mask for the hat."
"Sure," said Dan, and they exchanged items.
Dan hikes across the street.
The fruit stand is full of all kinds of fruits, including Doug. The fruit selling man is glaring at Doug's every move. A pile of peaches nearby look rather tempting to Dan. Only a few feet away is the middle of the market and across the road is still that strange looking occult shop.
"Hey Doug," said Dan.
"Dude," said Doug, "We sleep together, isn't that enough. We really don't have to talk together all that much. Go buy something interesting for your mom. Have a peach."
Dan pops the mask over his head. The man screams in terror and runs away!
"Way to go, Danno," said Doug, "Now we can dig in!"
Dan grabs a load of peaches.
Dan strides all the way across the road to the strange occult shop.
Dan looks at all this junk, and doesn't see many things that his mom would like. It's all so weird and useless. So cool.
Dan offeres a generous pile of peaches to the monkey. The monkey jumps onto Dan's shoulder.
"Away with you!" yelled the man, "Do not come back!"
Dan got the monkey. Now he has a personal servant. What a gloruious day for Dan in the market. Perhaps his mom will like the monkey as a present.
