The Tax Collector’s Magic Coin

Perhaps inspired by the U.S. Tax Day falling in April, pen a tale about a lowly tax collector who discovers a magic coin that could change their life forever.

Consider the moral implications of this discovery. How does it impact the tax collector’s morality, relationships, and wellbeing? What kind of magic does the coin hold – does it bring good luck, fulfillment of wishes, or an insidious curse? What larger themes such as responsibility, wealth, corruption, or altruism can you pull from this setup?
