Think first!

Two of my students told me an interesting story yesterday. I will leave out there names because they might be a little embarassed! But their initials are Mr. O and Ms. Y. They are both very intelligent and Mr. O is actaully a professional writer! Ms. Y used to be a member of a movie club and is now a member of an elite book club with Mr. O twice a month. Well anyway, last Saturday they had a book club gathering. They were studying and discussing the book very hard so of course they got hungry. Someone went to order take-out sushi at "Kurazushi", a 100 yen sushi shop. Later someone went to pick up the take-out sushi order. It was 3000 yen. When they opened the container there were 60 sushi! "WOW! 60 sushi for only 3000 yen. What a great deal! The clerk must have made a mistake because we only ordered 30 sushi! We are lucky!!!"...For 3 days the BELIEVED the clerk made a mistake! Until I informed them, at 100 yen sushi, one sushi is not 100 yen, 1 PLATE (=2 sushi) is 1oo yen. So the clerk didn`t make a mistake! You got just what you ordered! And in case you were wondering, yes, the 5 members of the book club ate ALL the sushi ;) Have a good day! and remember, THINK FIRST!
