just sell!

a trader
went into a jewellery shop
to buy a diamond necklace
for his wife
an evening before the valentine day!
--
he selected a dazzling one
paid 1.2 lacs
put the necklace in the bag
came out of the showroom
and was about to get into his car
when suddenly
he noticed four
well-built guys
staring
at him
from across the street!
--
first he thought
they were looking casually
but then his gut told him
that something was wrong about
the way they were looking at him!
--
he hurried to locate car-keys in his jacket
the guys leaped towards him
on seeing them coming
he abandoned his car
and started running fast
into the adjacent street!
--
the guys followed him
he started running faster
much faster
street after street
the guys kept running behind him!
--
he
then
suddenly
slipped into a very narrow street
and reached
a small time
jewellery shop!
--
an idea struck him.
he entered this shop
and offered to sell the jewellery
after showing the receipt
he had just got
from the previous jewellery showroom!
--
"i can pay 75000 for this!"
said the man across the counter.
"but i just paid 1.2 lacs for this!"
protested the trader!
"sorry!"
replied the busy salesman!
--
the trader refused to sell
the jewellery
at a loss!
he stood up
turned
and
saw outside
the four gentlemen
waiting for him!
--
the trader called the police
from his cell!
the policeman on the other side
was also into trading
part-time!
--
"i will be late! just sell!"
the trader in the uniform advised.
"never worry about the purchase rate
when the trade has gone wrong!"
