(Water crock bargaining)Slide3

In this world there are 2 types of shoppers, there are good shoppers and some that are not.

The main story begins.Slide4

Konchiwa

! Is Tome san home?

Konchiwa

.

Who’s there? Oh! It’s you. What do you need?

Sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you could come shopping with me.

Shopping?... What are you buying?Slide5

Water

crock

– single size (10 gallons or 50 litters)

Water

crock–

double size (20 gallons or 100 litters)Slide6

I’m buying a new water crock, but my wife tells me I’m too dull to go alone. That I would buy something and forget to get change back. Slide7

So, she

says

I should ask you to go with me.

She says Tome san has a shrew personality and it would be wise to go shopping with him..

Can

you go with me

?Slide8

So

your wife told you that I have what kind of personality?

She says I have a dull personality so I should go with you, because you have a shrew personality… and….

Well, she did tell me…

that I shouldn’t say this in front of you… Slide9

I’m

not going to get mad with everything you say to me…. And what type of water

crock

are you thinking about buying?

Single size? or Double size?

We

been using a single size

and it was a bit small so, I’m thinking of getting the

double size this

time. Slide10

Oh! I see.

. since

I’m free right now I’ll go with you.

Before

we go, I need you to promise me one thing. When we go to the store I’m

doing all the talking.Slide11

Just stand on the side..

promise

me that and

I’ll go with you…. Okay….

You see

the

stick over there

?

What

are you going to do with the stick?Slide12

If we bring that with us it becomes a way to ask for a discount.

Today

I’m going to show you

how the shopping king works. I

can’t go with you all the time….

Oh

!

So

many stores.. I think we’ll

go

to this store.. Konchiwa!Slide13

Welcome

to our store! And what are we looking for today?

Can we see

your

water

crocks?

Sure, it will be this

way.

The one in front is

the single size

and the ones in the back are

the double size. Slide14

Oh! there are so many of them,

in

good condition…. And the

single size?

How much are they?

You are clever to chose our store so the single size

will be 3yen and 50sen.. not a

sen

more or less.Slide15

If I

just randomly picked this store and if

I was not

that clever, how much would this

crock

be?

….. 3 yen 50

sen

….Slide16

So

the price doesn’t change

… I don’t think it’s too pricey.. but..

well

, I’ll

let you know the real reason why

I’m here

…

I’m here today

because we’re buying a

water crock for him. Slide17

I came with him because

I’m

the shopping king, and I know that 3 yen 50

sen

is not that pricey but between you and me..

what do you say about knocking the 50

sen

off?Slide18

I see.. Well we don’t make good profit off of the water crocks so I would say the price would still be set at 3 yen 50

sen

. Slide19

Well, I do see where you’re coming from but

since we’ll come here for future purchases

and we won’t go to any other stores

what do you say about making it 3 yen?Slide20

I am pleased that you will be coming to us in the future. Thank you very much…but the price will be

at 3 yen 50

sen

.Slide21

Fine.. well, how about this?

We’re not

asking you to deliver the water

crock

to his house. We’ll carry

it

home…

So

can you take off the delivery fee of the 50 sen and make it 3 yen?Slide22

Oh my! You come up with the most interesting ideas. I see… and if that’s what the case is

…

it’ll be 3 yen 50

sen.Slide23

You are one hard headed guy.

I’ll

make you a deal.

I

have friends, LOTS of friends and I’ll go to their houses

and break

all the water

crocks

.

I’ll bring all those friends with me here and make them buy your water crocks….

So

make it 3 yen.Slide24

I see, if you’re going that far, it’s my loss… I’ll make this water

crock

3 yen, and I hope

to see

you in the near

future. Slide25

Thank you much… Hey, go ahead and pay the guy…

What

?

You want

a

double size

and not

a single size?

It’s

okay. Remember! I told you not to say a word…No problems here… just pay the guy will you? ….

We’ll

take the water

crock

home

ourselves can

you tie it on the stick over

there?Slide26

As you wish….

Kamedon

!

Kamedon

!... Can you tie this

water crock

to that stick over there and make sure it’s on there tight so

it

doesn’t fall…

Thank

you so much for your purchase and hope to see you soon.Slide27

They both leave the store…

Tome san, wait a second. You didn’t listen to me at all! The water

crock

I wanted wasn’t

a single size

but

a double size!Slide28

It’s okay…. As we carry

a single size

water

crock,

it’ll turn into

a double size

in no time.

Wait… so if the sun shines on the

single size

water

crock, it gets bigger??!!Slide29

What are you talking about?.... just turn left over there… and another left… and one more left… and one more left….

Turning left and another left… this takes us back to where we were! Wait, this is the store we just came from!Slide30

It’s okay, just go inside the store… Hey store owner!

Welcome to our store!... Oh! you’re the customer that was just here… did you forget something?’Slide31

No, we didn’t forget anything… Would you listen to my story, it’s a real stupid story…

This brainless guy here was

mumbling to himself,

that he

didn’t want

a single size

water

crock

but

a double size.. so we came back here as soon as we could.Slide32

Oh.. I see, every one makes mistakes.. Please come here and take a look at the

double size water crocks.

They are all lined up here.

Sorry about that

… and

the

double size.

. how much would they be?Slide33

These are double in size,

so the price would be double as well.

So the single sizes are 3

yen 50

sen

, the

double size

would be 7 yen….’

We just paid

3 yen for the

single size.. so double would be 6 yen….and 6 yen and 7 yen would make a 1 yen difference…..Slide34

Sir! You have a very deceitful way of shopping!

We

didn’t mean it in a bad way… It just so happened to be like this

!.

..

But you

just sold us

a single size

for 3 yen and now asking the

double size for 7 yen. Don’t you feel bad?.. It should be okay to purchase the

double size

for 6 yen?Slide35

You amaze me!

I

lost this battle!

Yes

, so 6 yen would be okay for the

double size

water

crock.

.

But next time can

you send a telegram 2 to 3 days ahead of time so I can be

prepared?

Yes

, 6 yen would be okay for today….Slide36

About the single size

we just bought… this guy’s house isn’t that

big. They

don’t need 2 water

crocks

. So,

can you take back the single size crock?

Oh! okay that should not be a problem. We just sold it to you so we can take it back.Slide37

And how much would you be able to take

this single size

back?

We just sold this

one for

3 yen.

You’ll

take it back for the whole price? Thank you so much for everything.

So, we just paid you 3 yen for the single size, right? Slide38

Yes, I have the money right here! I haven’t put it away yet.

So, you’re taking the

single size

back for 3 yen, and

the 3 yen I just gave you,

this would be 6 yen. It’s okay to take the

double size crock

then, right?

Ah! So the 3 yen here and the 3 yen from the

single size water crock…

yes, you are correct

.Slide39

Anything wrong?

No, I was just thinking aloud

. Everything

should be okay…

Kamedon

(The store switches the water crocks)

Now

! Thank you for your purchase and hope to see you soon. Slide40

(The

two guys leave the store

again.)Oh my! It really happened! The

single size

turned into

a double size!

Now is not the time to be celebrating.. hurry up and go before he notices!Slide41

(The

store owner comes running after

them)

Excuse me! I’m sorry to ask this but please come back to the store…I don’t think the money has added correctly.Slide42

You

were so slow that the store owner came after us!

Don’t say a word when we go back! Oh

! what’s the matter?

I’m sorry but the money did not add up correctly..

But we just paid and everything was finalized!Slide43

I thought everything was okay but I’m thinking that it wasn’t the correct amount at the end

What are you talking about.. we gave you 3 yen right?

Yes, I understand that

part. I’ve sold you the double size for

6

yen.

.

So 3 yen is still missing. Slide44

But you agreed to take back the

single size

for 3 yen. Right?

Oh! that’s right! I was only thinking about the

money on hand!

So

the 3 yen from the

single size crock

and the 3 yen

paid…

I’m sorry about this, my mistake.. please come again!Slide45

(The

two leave the store

again)Oh my! That store owner is stupid! He’s never going to realize the mistake!

!

Hurry

up before he comes after us again!

(The

store owner chases after the two guys

and asks to come back to the store)Slide46

What

is the problem! Every time we leave the store

you chase

us saying that the money doesn’t add up.

.

It

feels like your accusing us of stealing money…

So

, what’s the problem now?!Slide47

It’s not about the money…

But when I see you guys leaving here happy…

Something doesn’t feel right.

Okay then, bring the abacus!

Oh no!

We don’t need an abacus for simple math.

I have worked in this store for 18 years…Slide48

(

Kamedon

brings an abacus and the store owner starts to calculate.)

I got the abacus.

Okay

, so we gave you 3 yen before so

enter 3

in.

.

Yes, that part is fine…Slide49

Since you’re taking back

the

single size water

crock for

3

yen, enter 3 yen…

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait a second!!

This

part

!...This is the part that holds the clue to solve this mystery. Slide50

You’re taking back the single size for 3 yen right? So, enter 3 yen…

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait a second!!

Don’t say anything! Please leave me alone.

(Store owner starts to mumble the calculation)Slide51

Hai

!!...how can I help you? Hibachi? They are lined up over there.. Please take your time to look at them…. Okay, wait a minute…

(Store owner goes back to calculating)

Hai

!! Prices for the Hibachi? Slide52

They already have prices on them.. please look at the tags…

wait

, wait… 3 yen…okay until here…

Hai

!! What? Give you a discount on the Hibachi?.. No! From here on, this store does not offer any discounts or taking purchases back!

And

don’t talk to me

now..Go to the store next door! They sell the same things as here…Slide53

Go HOME!...

Kamedon

! Lock up all the doors!! I can’t do anything until this calculation is figured out!..

(Store owner goes back to calculating)Slide54

So how much is it going to be??

It becomes 6 yen… but something is bothering me!.. Kamedon! Bring me a bigger abacus!

What are you talking about? So what are you going to do?Slide55

Is there anyway we can settle for this today… can you just take the

single size crock

home with you?

Like I’ve been saying… we don’t need

a single size…Slide56

I’ll even return

the 3 yen to

you!Slide57
