A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes. While she was trying on different styles(款式), my neighbor took the manager aside. “ When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said, “ just tell her that the price is 12 dollars. I’ll pay the regular(正常的)price. I don’t care how much it is.”

The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized (认出)him and called him in.
