A meat counter clerk, who had had a particularly good day,proudly flipped his last chicken on a scale and weighed it. "That will be $6.35," he told the customer. "That really is a little too small," said the woman. "Don't you have anything larger?" Hesitating, but thinking fast, the clerk returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused a moment, then took it out again. "This one," he said faintly, " will be $6.65." The woman paused for a moment, then made her decision. "I know what," she said, "I'll take both of them!" |
肉屋さんが、その日最後のチキンをはかりにのせた。 「6ドル35セントです」 「ちょっと小さすぎるわ。もう少し大きいのはない?」 肉屋はちょっと考え、冷蔵庫へ行き、少したって、同じ肉を手にして戻ってきた。 「6ドル65セントです」 お客はちょっと考え、返事した。 「うーーん、両方いただくわ」 |
