263rd story
First published: Aug.07.2025
Once upon a time, in a town, a couple owned an antique shop.
They had unique merchandise, and people from other cities travelled to buy from their shop.
They were known as a couple with high knowledge in distinguishing real antiques from fakes.
The husband usually went to villages in disguise to look for antiques and, without giving any information, buy them at the lowest prices.
On one of the days of antique searching, he was walking in an old area of a village and saw a cat drinking water from a very valuable bowl.
He knew if he asked the owner about the bowl, the owner would get greedy about the price, so, as always, he had to act unprofessionally.
The Antique shop owner went closer to the cat’s owner and said, ” Can’t stop looking at your cat. I fell in love with it. My wife is a bit depressed and the doctors recommended a pet may help her feel good. I was wondering if you would sell your cat to me?”
The cat owner said: ” Only because your wife needs to be healed, I would of course sell my cat to you.”
The antique shop owner smiled happily and paid the price, took the cat and said, ” I was wondering if I could take the cat’s eating bowl? I believe it is now used to this bowl.”
The cat owner replied: ” This is the fiftyth cat I sold because of this bowl. I am smart enough to know the price of an antique bowl!”
Love the twist in this tale.
