SET 0009 / FIVE TO CONSIDER

Two ways to go.

Five choices. The crowd waits until the end.

1. 1. You can instantly learn any language, including extinct ones, but every sentence you speak comes out as a dramatic prophecy about a minor inconvenience. or You can instantly understand every animal, but they all address you as “Boss” and expect you to mediate their petty neighborhood disputes.
2. 2. You can teleport anywhere you’ve visited before, but you arrive wearing the exact outfit you wore on your first visit. or You can fly anywhere at bicycle speed, but a brass band follows you at all times and plays according to your mood.
3. 3. You can eat anything without gaining weight or getting sick, but every meal must be served in a tiny bowl held by a nervous stranger. or You can make any food taste perfect, but each bite causes a nearby inanimate object to loudly review it.
4. 4. You can pause time for ten minutes once a day, but during the pause you must wear tap shoes and cannot stop dancing. or You can rewind any conversation by five minutes, but everyone involved remembers both versions and can compare your performance.
5. 5. You can summon any household item you need, but it arrives with a handwritten note explaining why it’s disappointed in you. or You can make any object obey one command, but it interprets the command with the stubborn literalness of a very polite lawyer.
