A young man went to a car showroom.He was wearing rubber boots and a dirty jacket.He needed a hair cut badly and was unshaven.The young man looked at an expensive car carefully and then turned to speak to the salesman.
“How much does this car cost?” he said.
“One thousand two hundred and eighteen pounds,” the salesman said.
“I’ll have sixteen of them,” the young man said.
The salesman smiled.He found it hard to be polite.“You are joking,of course,” he said.“I’m afraid we can’t help you.This car is not for sale.”
The salesman showed his customer to the door,and the young man left the shop without a word.He went to a showroom on the other side of the street and asked for sixteen cars.The second salesman was polite and helpful.The young man took a bundle of bank notes out of his pocket and paid for the cars in cash.He explained that the cars were for himself and his fifteen colleagues.He said that he and his colleagues worked on a Norwegian fishing-boat.“We have all earned a lot of money this season.” The man said,“and we want to buy cars.”
Naturally,the second salesman was delighted.
