Keep the Change
Selling secondhand books at our church bazaar，I got into an argument with a prospective customer.He was interested in buying The Pocket Book of Ogden Nash but claimed it was overpriced at 35cents.Other paperbacks were selling for ten or 15cents each.
I pointed out that the book was in good condition.Nach was a fun poet，and it was for a good cause.He said it was a matter of principle.Ultimately，I agreed to sell him the book for 15cents.Triumphant，he paid with a 10dollars bill.
“Keep the change，”he said.
零钱不用找了
在教堂的义卖市上卖旧书时，我与一名准备买东西的顾客发生了一场争论。他对购买袖珍本的奥金·纳什的诗集颇感兴趣，但是认为三十五美分开价过高。其他的平装本书每本才卖十或十五美分。
我指出这本书保存状况颇好，纳什是个有趣的诗人，而且是为了慈善活动。他说这是个原则问题。最终，我同意以十五美分的价格将这本书卖给他。他得意洋洋，拿出一张十美元的票子付账。
他说：“零钱不用找了。”
