Some time ago, when the ice-creams were not so expensive, a ten-year boy went to Nirula’s ice-cream shop. While sitting at the table, he asked the waiter "How much does a Sundae cost?"

"Rs. 40" he replied.

The boy took out his money from the pocket and began counting it. "Well how much does a simple ice-cream cost?" There were other people waiting to be served, so the waiter began to get a little impatient.

"Rs. 30" he said abruptly.

The boy counted his money again and said: "Please get me a simple ice-cream!" The waiter served him the ice-cream and the bill. The boy ate his ice-cream, paid his bill at the cash counter and left.
