John Brown had a shop. He sold different kinds of meat in his shop. One day, a woman came into the shop at 6:00 p.m. “Sorry to be late!” she said, “I need some more meat for my dinner tonight.”
John had only one piece of meat in his shop. He took it out of the fridge and said. “This is 6.5 dollars.” “That piece is too small,” the woman said, “Don’t you have anything bigger?”
John went into the room behind the shop, put the piece of meat into the fridge, took it out again and closed the door with a loud noise. Then he brought the piece of meat to the woman and said, “This piece of meat is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.5 dollars. ” “Good! ” The woman said with a smile, “Give me both of them, please.”
