Read Story A and answer the four questions.
Story A
A famous art collector was walking through the city when he noticed a dirty cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store. He did a double take.
He noticed that the saucer was an antique and very valuable, so he walked casually into the store and innocently offered to buy the cat for 20 dollars.
The store owner replied, “I’m sorry, but the cat isn’t for sale.”
The collector said, “Please, I need a hungry cat with a good appetite around the house to catch mice. I’ll pay you 200 dollars for that cat.”
The owner said “sold” and handed over the cat.
The collector continued, “Hey, for the 200 dollars I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat’s used to it and it’ll save me from having to get a dish.”
And the owner said, “Sorry my friend, but that’s my lucky saucer. So far this week I’ve sold 68 cats.”
