An unusual notice (3)
She looked for some writing paper and envelopes and a pencil. As soon as he had put them in her hands, she turned to leave the shop.
“That will be thirty cents, wholesale replica designer handbags, please, “he said.
“Why?” she asked with surprise.
“That’s the cost of the paper and the envelopes and the pencil.”
“But you’ve got a notice in the shop window which says that there’s no charge, replica Louis Vuitton handbags,” she replied.
“Oh, no,” he said. “How can I make any money if I don’t charge any thing for the things I sell?
She took him outside and showed him the notice. “It’s wrong, too,” she said.
“Where’s the question mark after the word ‘THINK’?”
“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.
“But there ought to be one.”
“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake, wholesale designer handbags,” Mr. Jones said. “You’ve read my notice in the wrong way.”
“Not at all,” said the woman. “It’s quite easy to read. It says: what do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”
“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You ought to read it like this: what?! Do you think I give away pencils and paper and ink? And the answer to the question is: certainly not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”
The woman paid the money and walked away rather angrily: but the other people laughed a great deal and spent some money in the shop, wholesale coach handbags. After they left the shop, some of them brought their friends to see the notice. And in this way, Mr. Jones made a lot of money.
