[Vnbiz] A lesson I learn in America

[pthang at comcast.net]

Dear brothers and sisters,

I use to pick up my child after school activities at a small shopping mall. One day, I noticed there are two sodas machines placed next to each other.  One has a label :" TODAY, 1$ A BOTTLE ", the other one also has a label " TOMORROW,1$ FOR 5 BOTTLES". Both show the same drink bottles.   Since I love special deals, I put a dollar in the TOMORROW vending machine. There is nothing come out. So I come in to ask the store owner what happens ? He tells me " can you read . it is not tomorrow yet ". Come back tomorrow. 
Tomorrow I come back and ask him how to get my five bottles. He tells me: " Please read carefully again, it is TOMORROW , not today, please come back tomorrow" . Now I get it.

I put $1 in the TODAY machine and I got my drink . It did not get a great deal but a FAIR deal .

I said to myself" Darn, at my age, I still learn  new thing every day "

Cheers,

thang Pham
