When I have read Janine Jouni's article,I remembered what had happened to me sixty years ago.
To begin with, as much as I cried at that time in the past, I burst out laughing today.
We were five boys,seven and eight- year old, playing in the dusty and rocky alleys of our village. Suddenly,a young man came,carrying a metallic box,shouting:"Ice cream,Ice cream."We hurried up to him. The seller said:"Each piece costs ten,but two for fifteen."So,we took the offer and gave him the due amount. But,to our surprise,the size of the second piece was half the first.We refused and claimed our money back.He also refused. Therefore,we shouted and cried but in vain. Then,we threw at him the pieces of pebbles and we ran away.He followed us ,leaving the box. In the meantime,one of my friends hurried up and spilled all the ice cream on the ground.
In fact,it was a funny incident. But, from that day on, I do not like neither to bargain nor to buy two things and get one for free.
