Payment
Once upon a time a Dwarf visited a Gnome’s
“Olde Curiosity Shoppe”. The Dwarf pointed at a gilded music box.
The
Gnome said, “Four gold coins.”
The
Dwarf said, “I want!”
The Gnome said, “No sale.”
The Dwarf said, “I deserve!”
The Gnome said, “No sale.”
The Dwarf said, “I need!”
The Gnome said, “No sale.”
The Dwarf heaved a sigh, and said, “I
have.”
The Gnome said, “Sold!”
Moral: Only “I have”
pays the bills.
Comment:
Both Dwarf and Gnome are short-spoken.
