One morning I met a man in my shop. He wanted to buy some new clothes. First I gave him a pair of
trousers. He put them on to try, then _____ and gave them back to me and said,"No, give me a coat instead
of them."
I gave him a coat and told him,"This one is worth as much as the trousers." To my surprise he took the
coat without saying a word and walked out of the shop with it. I ran quickly after him and said,"You haven't
paid for that coat!"
"But I gave you the trousers for the coat," he said."They are worth (相当于…的价值) the same as the
coat, aren't they?"
"Yes," I said."You didn't pay for the trousers, either!""Of course I didn't!" answered the man,"I didn't take
them. I am not foolish! Nobody gives things back and then pays for them."
