Tom saw an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful, modern bicycle which costed 54.99$, so he went to the shop which put an advertisement in and asked to see one of their wonderful bicycles. Shopkeeper was very happy to show one to Tom, who examined it carefully and then turned to the shopkeeper, saying, ‘There isn’t a lamp on this bicycle, but it was one on the bicycle in your advertisement.’ ‘Yes, sir,’ answered the shopkeeper, ‘but the lamp doesn’t included in price of the bicycle. It’s an extra.’ ‘Not included in the price of the bicycle?’ Tom said angrily. ‘But that’s not honest. If the lamp in the advertisement, it should have included in the price you gave there.’ ‘Well, sir’ answered the shopkeeper calmly, ‘it’s also a girl on the bicycle in our advertisement, but we don’t supply one of them with the bicycle neither.’
