I care a lot45
Yesterday I went to a stationery store. I saw a cute duck and I thought I would buy it for Chandika. I asked the man, “Is it a pin?”The man said, “No, it is a magnet.” Then he said, “This one is $2.45 and the other one is $4.47.”
I looked at him. He was a joker. I said, “Which one do you want me to buy?”
He said, “It depends on how much you care for the person. Do you care a lot?”
I said, “I care a lot.”
He said, “Then buy the one for $4.47!” and he put it in my bag. Both were cute. The bigger one was just a little bigger, but it was $2 more. To me it looked like a pin, but it was a magnet.
