漂亮的毯子
Mr. Payne was on hoilday. He was staying in a small desert town. One sunny morning he went to the
market. and saw a beartiful carpet there. This one was big and full of rich colours. He looked at it
for a long time, but went away. The next day he passed and saw it again. He asked the price.
"This one. Sir? This is a very special carpet," said the man.
"Yes, but how much is it?"
"It's very old, Sir. It belonged to a great man many years ago. So I can't sell it cheaply."
"No, how much is it?" Mr. Payne asked again.
"A beautiful, old carpet, Sir. And it is also a magic carpet. A magic flying carpet. A man came this
moring and offered me five hundred pounds for it."
"Oh, " said Mr. Payne.
"But I like you, sir. You're a very nice gentleman. I'll sell it to you. Five hundred and fifty
pounds."
"Humm," Mr. Payne thought for a moment. "All right."
"Very good, sir," said the man. "Will you pay now and take it with you?"
"No," said Mr. Payne. "Here's my adress. fly over on the carpet, and I'll pay you when you arrive."
