A can of beans

There was a man whose cellar ran deep
He lived on beans and nothing more
One million cans of beans stored away
Yet he ate only five cans a day
He spent his hours finding more beans
With a goal of five million cans

One day a child came to visit
She gazed in awe at the endless stacks
And noticed the man would never run out
She asked him why he wanted more cans
The man stared at his stacks, then said

I met a man
With ten million cans
