Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

"How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics¹（化妆品） clerk. She showed him a $50.00 bottle.

"That's a bit much,"said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00.

"That's still quite a bit,"Tim complained.

Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle.

"What I mean,"said Tim,"is I'd like to see something really cheap."

The clerk handed him a mirror.
