An
old
lady
who
was
very
deaf
and
who
thought
everything
too
dear,
went
into
a
shop
and
asked
the
shopman'
How
much
this
stuff'
'Seven
dollars,
Madam,
it
is
very
cheap.'
The
lady
said,
'It
is
too
much,
give
it
to
me
for
fourteen.'
'I
did
not
say
seventeen
dollars,
but
seven.'
'It
is
still
too
much,'
replied
the
old
lady,
'give
it
to
me
for
five.'
一位耳聋并且总是嫌东西太贵的老太太走进一家商店。
她问店员：“这东西要多少钱？”
“七美元，太太，这是很便宜的。”
老太太说：“太贵了，十四美元差不多。”
店员忙说：“我没说十七美元，是七美元。”
“还是太贵，”老太太说：“五美元，我就买啦。”
