Hey, guys! Here is an interesting story for you. One day a little boy came into a fruit shop. He had five dollars and wanted to buy some apples. He told the shop assistant to give him 5 dollars worth of apples. When the shop assistant gave him the apples, the boy counted them and felt very surprised. Then he said, “Last Friday, my mother bought apples here for 5 dollars, too. Why did you give me fewer apples?”

“Don’t ask questions, boy. I have no time for questions.”

“Excuse me, sir,” said the little boy, “but …”

“It is all right, my boy,” said the shop assistant. “Don’t you know? The fewer apples you get, the less fruit you will have to carry.”

“All right,” said the boy and he gave 4 dollars to the shop assistant. He was just going to leave the shop when he heard the words. “Come back! You must pay me 5 dollars.”

But the boy replied, “Don’t you know? The fewer dollars you get, the less money you will have to count.”
