Richard was very stingy.He hated spending money.Whenever he had to buy something,he always wanted to pay less money,even for the cheapest things.If he wanted to buy a bottle of juice,for example,and the shopkeeper asked for $2,Richard would say,“Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.”
Sometimes the shopkeepers had to agree with him,“What’s ten cents?”they asked themselves,“If it makes it $1.90,the man is happy,and it won’t hurt my very much.”
In this way Richard saved a few cents here and a few cents there,and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.
