A girl goes to a shop and asks for an eraser. The man asks whether she would like a plain one or one in an animal shape. The animal shaped eraser costs 50c and the plain one 40c. She chooses the plain one, hands over a 50c coin and gets 10c change. The next day she goes into the shop, hands over her money and asks for an eraser. Without asking, the man gives her an animal shaped eraser.
