AT A FLEA-MARKET
Vendor. Hello, Madam, What can I do for you today?
Customer (picking up a beautiful hand, painted plate). This is quite lovely. Where was it made?
Vendor. Oh, I see you have excellent taste. It’s local pottery. It was painted by a local artist.
Customer. It’s really something… do you have anything else by this artist?
Vendor. Well, I’m not really sure who exactly painted which pieces of pottery, but here are some similar pieces.
Customer. No, they’re really not the same.
Vendor. Well, how about these here? I had them brought in just this morning.
Customer. Yes, those are quite nice. What about the prices?
Vendor. Obviously, it depends on what you would like to buy. That plate that you were first looking at costs $50.
Customer. $50! That’s quite expensive. I can’t afford that.
Vendor. These are hand painted pieces, that kind doesn’t come cheaply.
Customer. Yes, I understand that. But I really think that $50 is just too much.
Vendor. Listen, I can see that you are in love with that plate. Let’s just make it $45. I’d really like you to take that home with you.
Customer. How about $35.1 really can’t go any higher than that.
Vendоr. I really can’t, I mean that would be selling at cost.
Customer. Well, $38 is absolutely the most I can spend.
Vendor. All right. I really shouldn’t. The artist is going to have me put out of business for selling his wares at such low prices.
Customer. Come, come. Let’s not exaggerate.
Vendor. You’re a clever one, aren’t you?
Customer. I’m just someone who pays close attention to what I spend.

Customer. Thank you very much.
