Quotes 

• Peddler : [8:45]  You like my music, Jack?

  Jack : Uh, huh! Huh? I never met you before. How do you know my name?

  Peddler : Oh, I know lots of things, my boy, more than you can dream of.

  Jack : I'm just a poor farm boy. I haven't seen much of the world. I'll bet you're a fortune teller.

  Peddler : Well, you're a very bright boy. You're very close to the mark. Know what I really am? I'm a seller of miracles.

  Jack : My mother says miracles don't happen.

  Peddler : Hmm Hmm Hmm. You say you like music, right my boy?

  Jack : Right! Music is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world! It makes me feel all bubbly!

  Peddler : Well if you like music then you must believe in miracles. Music is a kind of miracle itself.

  Jack : I don't understand. How can music be a miracle?

  Peddler : It makes you happy when you're sad. It turns tears into laughter. I'd certainly call that a miracle, wouldn't you? Hasn't music ever started your feet to dance without you even knowing it? There is mystery in music. But there is not just mystery in music my boy. Mystery and miracles are all around us everywhere and sometimes where we least suspect them. Take this bag for instance. It contans mysterious, miraculous, and magical beans.

  Jack : Mysterious miraculous and magical beans? Let me look!

  Peddler : Uh uh uh! This miracle won't happen until after you plant them.

  Jack : What kind of miracle will happen?

  Peddler : Well, now that would be telling. I can't see that you want them so I'll tell you what. I know you have no gold so I'll trade them for your cow. How does that sound?

  Jack : It sounds like you're trying to trick me. No, sir. I might be a poor farm boy but I'm not stupid.

  Peddler : Think it over carefully. This is a genuine miracle. Look. That's enough. You know you want them. I'm offering you a miracle. So, make up your mind. Think. If you turn down these beans you may regret it the rest of your life. When opportunity knocks, answer the door my boy, it won't knock a second time, remember that! So, what do you say, do you want to trade your cow for my beans?

  Jack : All right! I'll do it, I've made up my mind!

  Peddler : [11:49]  A wise decision! Here! You're a lucky young man.

  Jack : It takes more than luck to get ahead in this world. I've got brains in my head!
