Lesson 204

2) Clothes Nasreddin wanted to buy new clothes, so he went to a shop. First he asked for some trousers and tried them on, but then took them off, gave them back to the seller and said that he should rather give him a coat. The man gave him a coat that cost as much as the trousers. Nasreddin took the coat and went out of shop. The seller ran after him and said, "You did not pay for this coat!" "But I gave you the trousers for the coat," said Nasreddin. "They cost as much as the coat, don’t they?" "Yes," said the seller, "but you did not pay for the trousers either!" "Of course, I did not pay for them," Nasreddin replied. "Because I did not take them. I'm not stupid. Nobody gives things back and then pays for them!"
