reminder: on seeking and tangentially finding
An impoverished Polish villager dreams of a treasure hidden under a bridge in Krakow. Arriving in the big city, he locates the bridge of his dream. The tollkeeper, noticing a loitering man with a shovel and suspicious intentions, confronts the pauper, who confesses his mission. "Dreams!" exclaims the guard. "Why, only last night I dreamt that in the home of Chaim Yankel the peddler in the village of Usseldorf, a chest of gold coins is buried in the wall behind the stove. So do I travel all the way to Usseldorf to break down the wall of some poor yokel's home?" Chaim Yankel hurries home, demolishes the wall behind his stove, and lives happily ever after on his buried treasure.

Oh, sorry: I just wanted to celebrate posting the first comment elegantly, and instead got you two "This post has been removed by the author" messages. Some author. Still, I'm happy to post the first, second, and third comments here.
