"50 Rs! Nothing more than that!"
Raju said with Paulo Coehl's new 'Eleven Minutes' clutched in his hand, staring at the store keeper.
"Boss! I bring books to make a living, how can I sell it to you at a price that I bought it for ?"
Questioned back the keeper while his helper boy looked the other way.
"Everything is fair,If this book was original he'd have blindly given 300 Rs, and you know its
pirated right ? its ok! its a straight deal! First you asked 150 and now you are asking 70! Quite
flexible you are, no problem, give it for 50!" Arun added, who stood beside Raju.
"Atleast 60 boss" he persisted!
"50 is final" Raju finalized.
"Ok! take it!" came the words with a sigh.
Raju pulled out a note of 50 Rs and gave it to keeper and both Raju and Arun started walking away.
After they covered few hundred yards, shopkeeper turned to his helper and grinned " Idiots man! I bought all these books for just 25 Rs and I still made 100% profit".
And hundred yards away Arun started grinning, "Why do you laugh?" Raju asked!. Arun pulled out one more book from his bag and said " I flicked this when you were arguing.. He He! We cost him 50 more bucks man!"
