A well dressed man came into a famous jeweler's shop one day. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife's birthday. He didn't mind if the pearl was cheap or expensive, since business had been good for him that year.
After studying a number of beautiful and expensive pearls, he chose an unusual black one. It would be 5,000 pounds. He paid money for it, took the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler and left.
A few days later, the man returned and said that his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and colour as she wanted to have a pair of the pearls.
The jeweler seemed helpless. Then the man advised the jeweler should write a poster to buy such a pearl for 25,000 pounds. So the jeweler did.
Many people answered the poster, but nobody had a pearl just like the right size and colour. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old woman came into his shop. She took out one such black pearl from her wallet.
“I don't like to say goodbye to the pearl,”she said sadly. “It was given to me by my mother and she had received it from her own mother. But I really need the money.”The jeweler was overjoyed and quickly paid her for the pearl. Then he called the rich man to tell the good news. However, the man could never be found, Clever readers, can you guess why?
True or false:
(1) The
“rich”man wore expensive suit when he came to the shop.( )
(2) He didn't mind how expensive the pearl was, because he did well in his business that year.
( )
(3) It was very difficult to find another pearl in the same size and with the same colour, so the jeweler seemed helpless.
( )
(4) The old woman was either the man's wife or friend.
( )
(5) The jeweler lost 25,000 pounds in his business.
