Man buys R20k rat to generate money

The gentleman travelled by taxi to purchase his ticket to a brighter future and hid it in his bag on the ride back home. He was instructed to let the rat roam freely around the house and sleep with all windows and doors wide open.

The guy followed all the rules and planned to take his expensive and magical rat to Shoprite the next day to generate serious money:

“He told me not to take my rat to a tuck shop because I would make only a small amount of money, and that I should aim for bigger stores like Shoprite.”

The chap woke up the next day and looked for his rat, but it had disappeared. He called the sangoma, who told him:

“It’s been run over by a car.”

As he told the story, the gent realised how ridiculous it sounded and chuckled at his silly decision. Most people purchase snakes and baboons to help them generate money, and are given strict rules to follow.
