Chains of Love

may I help you sir?
yes, I'm looking for a gift for my wife.
very good. what did you have in mind?
oh, something different. not the usual earrings, etc.
well, we have quite a selection of unique items.
I can see that. how much for that thing over there?
oh, it's on sale this week, for only $3000 US.
that's a little steep, don't you think?
it's a rare piece, sir. you won't find it anywhere.
isn't it a used 55-gallon oil drum?
yes, but the workmanship is exquisite.
it is nice. will you take $2,000 for it?
oh, I couldn't let it go for less than $2,750.
I'll give you $2,400. cash.
you drive a hard bargain, sir. it's yours.
think she'll like it?
it will be an unexpected treasure, I'm sure. and she can always exchange it for another color.
but they're all black and white.
and shades of grey, sir. there's a difference.
of course.
shall I wrap it up, then?
no, I think I'll wear it home.
very good sir.
