I posted this in the Unscripted Text Network but I thought it was worth its own thread.

#1) Because it is a great parable.
#2) Because it is a bit hilarious.

A few times a week I visit the local park filled with ducks. I made a habit of feeding them sometimes. Now when I visit, they recognize me and follow me around the park, even when I don't have food. Ironic, business is similar. Show up to the park with nothing of value, the ducks don't care. Show up with value, and you'll have no problem attracting a crowd, and hence, customers.
