Bargaining?
By: Morteza sajedi
The year was 1328(Hegira).I had a shop in Sar-cheshmeh, Tehran. Mr. Rajaee was a 16 years old young man. As a Peddler he used to sell things in front of my shop. He sold baskets and glasses and earned money to live with his old mother. Once two young ladies came to him and asked:”? How much is a glass?”? He answered:”? Each one is 2.5 Rials or 3 Truman a dozen.”? They told him:”? Give us a dozen”?. He asked them with a special honesty:”? Masam, why don’t you bargain?”? one of them asked surprisingly: “Why should we bargain?”? He answered: “If you bargain, I can reduce the price to 2 tunas a dozen and I will steel get 2 Rials benefit”?. He had paid 18 Rials for each dozen. Lasies laughed at each other, because they thought he is a naïve boy. But Mr. Rajaei was an honest young man with a great sympathy toward people. The young man talked sense, for he couldn’t sleep well if he had benefited more than what he should.
