問題詳情

Wilson’s watch was old and it didn’t work well. It was either too fast or too slow. It spent more time in the repairshop than on his wrist. He decided to buy himself a new watch. He went into a jewelry shop and spoke to the womanbehind the counter.  “I want to buy a new watch, please. Show me the best watch you have.”  The woman smiled happily. This was the kind of customer she liked. “No problem, sir,” she said, and showed Wilson a gold watch.  “This watch is made of gold and has twenty-four jewels,” she said.  “How much is it?” Wilson asked.  The woman answered, “$5000.” “Oh, I’m sorry. You didn’t understand me. I want to see the best watch you have for under $100.” Wilson said.  The woman now lost interest in Wilson. She pushed some cheap watches at him.  “Choose one of these,” she said rudely. “They are all under $100.”  Wilson picked up one of the watches, “Will it last me a lifetime?” he asked. “Of course,” she said.  “Then I’ll buy it,” Wilson told her.He paid for the watch and left the shop. Two days later the watch stopped. Wilson couldn’t make it start again. Hetook it back to the shop.  “This watch is broken,” he said to the woman. “You told me it could last me a lifetime.”  “When you bought it, sir,” she said, “you didn’t look very well.”
