In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
A curio shop owner finds a glass bottle that can make people small and trap them inside it. He traps a man after trapping a woman to make sure that it will work on both sexes. He plans to use the bottle for extortion and theft, but the man trapped inside the bottle borrows the woman's hand mirror from her purse and shines the rays of light that are reflected from the bottle directly into the curio shop owner's eyes. This triggers the miniaturization spell and he drops the bottle, shattering it and freeing the couple. The man and the woman leave the shop arm-in-arm, while the evil curio shop owner shrinks away to nothingness.
