Dennis had a lot of regrets in his life. He wished he had gone to college after high school, instead of getting married and starting a family while he was still a teenager. His first son had just turned five, and he was taking him to a carnival, where he saw an old fortune teller. She knew Dennis's desire to change his past. She asked what he would give to change his life. To be able to be 18 again and make a different set of decisions. "Anything," he said. The fortune teller sat back. "Done, but it will cost you your life," she said. Dennis looked puzzled, but she attempted to explain, "You will swap bodies with the next person you see who is facing the same life choice: to go to college or to start a family. You will lose this life, but you will gain a new one." Dennie became terrified, grabbed his son, and left. Almost immediately, as he left the fortune teller, he ran into a young woman, and he felt woozy. The next thing he knew, he was her! "Excuse me, Miss," his old body said. Dennis laughd as he walked away, his old self seemed oblivious to the swap. It was only a few minute later when a man grabbed Dennis's arm and took him to the Ferris Wheel. At the top, the man proposed! Though Dennis's heart was moved, he declined. This time, he was doing things differently!
