An old man sat by the roadside, selling watermelons. His price list was simple:
\n1 for $3, 3 for $10.<\/p>\n
A young man strolled up, eyed the watermelons, and handed over $3 for one.
\n\u201cThat\u2019ll be $3,\u201d the old man said.<\/p>\n
The young man smirked, then bought another. And another. Each time, he paid $3.<\/p>\n
As he walked away, he chuckled, shaking his head. \u201cHey old man, I just got three watermelons for $9 instead of $10! Maybe business isn\u2019t your strong suit.\u201d
\nThe old man watched him go, then chuckled to himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are funny,\u201d he muttered. \u201cThey just keep buying three watermelons, thinking they\u2019re outsmarting me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
