An old man sat by the roadside, selling watermelons. His price list was simple:
1 for $3, 3 for $10.
A young man strolled up, eyed the watermelons, and handed over $3 for one.
“That’ll be $3,” the old man said.
The young man smirked, then bought another. And another. Each time, he paid $3.
As he walked away, he chuckled, shaking his head. “Hey old man, I just got three watermelons for $9 instead of $10! Maybe business isn’t your strong suit.”
The old man watched him go, then chuckled to himself.
“People are funny,” he muttered. “They just keep buying three watermelons, thinking they’re outsmarting me…”
