Know What You Sell
An art collector was walking through the streets where lot of art dealers were located, looking for some interesting artifact.
He noticed a pussy cat drinking milk from a bowl on the front-gate of one of the art stores. He found bowl was a very old antique piece and it was a rare artifact with value attached to it.
He asked the owner, “What is the price of the cat ?”
Store owner replied, ” Not for sale”
He replied, “I have got a lot of mice in my home, and need a hungry pussy cat to control them. I will pay you 5000 Rupees for the cat.”
Store owner said , “Sold.” He handed the cat to the art collector. Art collector paid him 5000 Rupees immediately.
Art collector replied, “For 5000 Rupees, I think you should bundle the bowl also. The cat is used to it.”
Store owner said, “Sorry buddy, Can not. That is my lucky bowl. So far I have sold 66 cats this week.”
