THE SHOP

the old man entered the shop, there were several items, all he

needed was a walking stick to walk with.
"hello, please i need something"
"thank you for visiting us, we pride ourself in hiring out the

best and well trained personels, as well as the best in sales,

please how may i help you"
her voice was very welcoming.
but it all sounded like rhymes to the man, after he had heard

it over and over again.
"i need a staff to walk with" he repeated himself
"oh sorry sir, we have hired out all of our staff for today,

can you come early tommorow"?
she spoke a little unsure of how he would react or reply
"whats the specs like"?
"i suggest sarah, shes very agile and good conversationalist

and ..."
"lord have mercy, the man mumbled"
"i meant i needed just one staff to work with"
"i need a working ..."
he did not even complete the sentence, she just interrupted
"of course we will give you one staff, if you need only one"
"all our staff are very well trained"
the old man was really confused
"he turned to the person at his back and asked
"please what do they call walking stick here, apart from

"i dont know for them o"
the lady behind him was becoming a bit agitated
