One day my chair had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty getting it fixed (修理) as there were many furniture shops nearby. So I left home with the chair. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop was just the same, and the third and the fourth.
I entered another shop with a plan in my mind. I said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy the chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty dollars,” I said. “OK,” he said. “It’s got a broken leg,” I told him. “Yes, I noticed that. It’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, I’ll sell it after fixing it.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, but I’ve changed my mind.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped (目的达到).“I know what you want. You want me to fix the chair,” he said. “We don’t do repairs (修理), not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll fix this for you.”
