“And this gentleman wants to buy the other half.”
The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way. Afterward， the manager said：
“You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier， but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from， son？”
“Texas， sir.”
“Oh， really？ Why did you leave Texas？” asked the manager.
