A large store was having the spring sale on shoes and boots. It was the first day of the sale, and the shoe department was full of women who were eagerly  trying to buy them. There were all kinds of shoes and boots in a variety of colors, and the prices had been reduced a lot, because the store wanted to get rid of as many as possible in order to make room for their new stock¹.

 

The cashiers³ were kept busy, and at one moment a woman came to one of them with her money in her hand and said, "I don't need a bag, thank you. I'm wearing the shoes I bought." She pointed⁴ to them on her feet.

 

"Would you like a bag to put your old shoes in then?" the cashier² asked politely as she took the woman's money.

 

"No, thank you," the woman answered quickly, "I've sold those to someone else."

 

一家大商店正在进行鞋子和长筒靴的春季大销售。这是大销售的第一天，因此售鞋部挤满了急切想购买鞋子和长筒靴的女人们。鞋子和长筒靴的种类很多，颜色各异，而且价格大降，因为商店想把尽可能多的鞋子和长筒靴卖掉，为了给新近货物腾出地方来。

 

收银员们一直都很忙，而在某一个时刻，一位妇女手里拿着钱来到一位收银员面前说道，“我不需要袋子，谢谢你。我正穿着我买的鞋。”她指着她脚上的鞋子。

 

“ 那么你不需要一个袋子装你的旧鞋子吗？”当她接过那妇女的钱时，收银员很有礼貌地说道。

 

“不需要，谢谢你，” 那妇女很快地回答说，“ 我刚把旧鞋卖给别的人了。”
