English, asked by thungchemarkhmt, 4 months ago

Harry use to consider it a great joke to go into expensive cosmetic shop and ask for goods that do not exist. On entering a shop, he would pretend to be offended. He loved to be told that one of his imaginary products was temporarily out of stock. He would promise to call again at some future date, but of course he never did. One day, Harry went into an exclusive shop assistant looked puzzled and Harry repented the word pronouncing each part of the world slowly, ‘My-ro-lite’. The shop assistant still didn’t know what he was asking for. Harry went on to explain that ‘Myrolite’ was a hard cosmetic substance which could be used to remove freckles. Now the shop assistant knew Marry’s game. She searched shelf after shelf and produced all sorts of strange things, but none of them met Harry’s requirements. When harry pretended to be annoyed, the girl promised to order some for him. Feeling very pleased with himself, Harry then asked for ‘perfumed mud’. He expected the girl to look puzzled again. However, the time it was his turn to be surprised because the girl immediately fetched several bottles that she placed on the counter for harry to inspect. For once Harry had to admit defeat. He picked up what seems to be the smallest bottle and cautiously enquired about the price. He was glad to get away with a mere five guineas and he quickly left the shop, clitching the precious bottle under his arm.
