ABSTRACT

Because he had been away on business for a week Bill thought it would be nice to surprise his wife with a little gift. He went to the cosmetics counter, and asked for some perfume. The clerk showed him a bottle that costed $50.00. “Thats a bit to expensive,” said Bill. The clerk returned with a bottle for $30.00. “Thats still more than I wanted to pay,” said Bill. The clerk sighed, and returned with a tiny $15.00 bottle. Bill still wasn’t happy. “What I mean,” he said, “is that Id like to see something real cheap.” The clerk handed him a mirror.
