Wink and Grow Rich is the fable in regards to a boy being raised by his carpenter father, who is both sick and tired. In fact, he is tired of being sick and sick of being tired. Each day going back twenty years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, since it is normally accepted by the townsfolk that if indeed they give generously to the Well, it will in turn give generously to them. Upon this day, the carpenter is so ill that he is unable to visit the Well, so he entrusts his nine-year-old son, Richard, with a crumpled but treasured dollar and sends him in his place. On the way, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where he thought it might be, so he follows an alternative, more overgrown path, which he meets an old woman, an optometrist, a plumber, a gardener, a fisherman, a rower, a musician, and an innkeeper. These intriguing and mysterious characters become guides for Richard and share their wisdom. They have all built their wealth in completely different ways, yet there is something about each that is common to all or any. The story is intended to make the listener think more deeply about the dynamics of wealth creation. The keys to wealth are within the story behind the story, the lesson behind the lesson. To uncover these keys, the listener must become better at "seeing" - a philosophy the writer sums up as, "What you see is usually what you get."
