Lesson 6 Stories for All Time
언어 형식
• People asked him where he had got the furniture.
• The table was what every dealer dreamed of.
One Lucky Sunday
Cyril Boggis was an antique furniture dealer in London.
He was known for buying good things at a low price and then selling them at a high price.
People asked him where he had got the furniture, but he just said, “It’s a secret.”
Mr. Boggis’ secret was simple.
He went to small towns every Sunday and knocked on doors.
He told people that he was a furniture dealer.
People didn’t know how valuable their things were, so Mr. Boggis took advantage of them.
He was able to buy things very cheaply.
Now it was another Sunday, and Mr. Boggis was in a small town again.
At a house he visited, he met two men.
One was Rummins, the owner, and the other was his son Bert.
“I buy old furniture. Do you have any?” asked Mr. Boggis.
“No, I don’t,” said Rummins.
“Can I just take a look?” asked Mr. Boggis.
“Sure. Please come in,” said Rummins.
Mr. Boggis first went to the kitchen, and there was nothing.
He then moved to the living room.
And there it was!
A table which was a priceless piece of eighteenth-century English furniture.
“What’s wrong?” Bert asked.
“Oh, nothing. Nothing at all,” Mr. Boggis lied.
He then said with a straight face, “This table is a reproduction. It’s worth only a few pounds.”
He then added, “Hmm, I think I may buy it. The legs of my table at home are broken. I can cut off the legs of your table and attach them to mine.”
“How much?” Rummins asked.
“Not much, I’m afraid. This is just a reproduction,” said Mr. Boggis.
“So how much?”
“Ten pounds.”
“Ten? It’s worth more than that.”
“How about fifteen?”
“Make it fifty.”
“Well, thirty. This is my final offer.”
“OK, it’s yours, but how are you going to take it? This thing will not go in a car!”
“We’ll see,” Mr. Boggis said and went out to bring his car.
On his way to the car, Mr. Boggis couldn’t help smiling.
The table was what every dealer dreamed of.
He couldn’t believe his luck.
“Dad, what if this thing doesn’t go in his car? He might not pay you,” said Bert.
Rummins then had an idea.
“What he wants is only the legs. Let’s cut the legs off for him,” said Rummins.
“Great idea!” said Bert.
Bert then took out a saw and began to cut off the legs.
When Mr. Boggis came back, the legs had been cut off.
“Don’t worry, this was a favor. I won’t charge you for this,” said Rummins.
Mr. Boggis was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything.
