A rabbit walks into a grocery store.
He bangs his paws on the counter and yells โa pound of carrots!
โ
The shopkeeper says โIโll get you the carrots, but please donโt bang your paws on the counterโ.
The rabbit takes the carrots and leaves.
The next day he comes back and again bangs his paws on the counter and yells โa pound of carrots!
โ
This time the shopkeeper is more annoyed.
โIโll get you the carrots,โ he says, โbut do not bang your paws on the counter.
You are leaving scratch marks.โ
The rabbit takes the carrots and leaves.
The next day he comes back and again bangs his paws on the counter and yells โa pound of carrots!
โ
Now the shopkeeper is mad.
โListen,โ he says.
โIโll get you the carrots, but if you do that one more time Iโm going to nail your paws to the counter!
โ
The rabbit takes the carrots and leaves.
The next day he comes back.
This time, he politely asks โdo you have nails?โ
โThis is a grocery store, not a hardware storeโ the shopkeeper replies.
โWhy would we sell nails?โ
โIn that case,โ says the rabbit while banging his paws on the counter, โa pound of carrots!
