A farmer came to town to do some shopping. He had bought what he wanted and was going to leave the shop, but the shop-keeper would not let him go. He said: “Look here, farmer Jones. I have some very good bicycles to sell. They are very cheap. I can sell you a very good bicycle for $35. I’m sure it will be very useful. You can ride around your farm on it every day.”
