A man was looking for things of the old times. One day he came to a village and found a blue bowl. It looked very old. The bowl was on the ground and a cat was drinking milk from it. A farmer，the owner of the cat，was sitting beside the bowl. The man did not want the farmer to know that he was interested in the bowl. So he said to him in a soft voice，“What a nice cat you have! Will you sell it to me？”

“How much will you give me for the cat？”the farmer asked.

“Thirty dollars. Would that be enough？”Later，the farmer agreed. After he paid the farmer，the man said，“This cat is used to eating with his bowl. May I take this bowl with the cat？”But the farmer said，“I'm sorry I can't give you the bowl. Thanks to(多亏了) the bowl，I have sold thirty cats.”
