ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى المَتْجَرِ لِأَنَّنِي كُنْتُ أَبْحَثُ عَنْ مِعْطَفٍ جَدِيدٍ لِلشِّتَاءِ. رَأَيْتُ مِعْطَفًا أَسْوَدَ أَنِيقًا، وَلٰكِنَّهُ كَانَ ضَيِّقًا. قُلْتُ لِلْبَائِعِ: هَلْ لَدَيْكُمْ هٰذَا المِعْطَفُ بِمَقَاسٍ أَكْبَرَ؟ أَحْضَرَ لِي مِعْطَفًا آخَرَ وَكَانَ مُرِيحًا وَمُنَاسِبًا. سَأَلْتُ: كَمْ ثَمَنُهُ؟ كَانَ ثَمَنُهُ سِتِّينَ جُنَيْهًا، وَلٰكِنَّ عَلَيْهِ تَخْفِيضًا. جَرَّبْتُ أَيْضًا حِذَاءً بُنِّيًّا وَحَقِيبَةً صَغِيرَةً. فِي النِّهَايَةِ اشْتَرَيْتُ المِعْطَفَ وَالحِذَاءَ لِأَنَّهُمَا عَمَلِيَّانِ.
