A man is leaving his village for the first time to visit the big city. His fellow villagers don't want him to get ripped off, so they give him some advice - never agree to the seller's price... always ask for half the price.
So the man arrives at the city, and sees an umbrella store. He heads in to buy an umbrella.
He asks the clerk how much for an umbrella.
The clerk replies: $10.
Sticking to his strategy, the man says: How about $5?
The clerk tries to negotiate, but the man doesn't budge. Finally, the clerk agrees.. I'll sell it to you for $5.
The man then replies: How about $2.50?
The clerk is taken aback, but eventually rationalizes that just making the sale is worth something... and agrees to $2.50.
The man goes on... how about $1.25?
This continues for a while, with the man wearing the clerk down, until it's down to $0.02... and the man says how about $0.01?
The clerk is so fed up, he tells the man... it's already down so low... just take it for free.
The man finally seems satisfied... but then turns to the clerk and says... How about 2?
