Passage 21

A man was looking for things of old times. One day he came to a village and found a blue bowl which looked very old. The bowl was on the ground and a cat was drinking milk from it. A farmer, the owner of the cat, was lying beside the bowl. In order not to draw the farmer's attention to the value of the bowl, the man said to him in a soft voice, "What a nice cat you have! Won't you sell it to me?"

"How much would you give me for it? " the farmer opened his eyes and asked.

"Twenty dollars. Would it be enough?"

A few minutes later, the farmer agreed. After he paid the farmer, the man said, "My cat will certainly feel thirsty. May I take the bowl so that the cat can have milk? "

But the farmer said, "I'm sorry I can't give it to you. Thanks to the bowl, I have already sold twenty cats."

When the conductor moved on, all the other passengers couldn't help laughing.
