USED TROUT STREAM FOR SALE.
MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED.
I went inside and looked at some ship’s lanterns that were for sale next to the door. Then a salesman came up to me and said in a pleasant voice, “Can I help you?”
“Yes,” I said. “I’m curious about the trout stream you have for sale. Can you tell me something about it? How are you selling it?”
“We’re selling it by the foot length. You can buy as little as you want or you can buy all we’ve got left. A man came in here this morning and bought 563 feet. He’s going to give it to his niece for a birthday present,” the salesman said.
“We’re selling the waterfalls separately of course, and the trees and birds, flowers, grass and ferns we’re also selling extra. The insects we’re giving away free with a minimum purchase of ten feet of stream.”
“How much are you selling the stream for?” I asked.
“Six dollars and fifty-cents a foot,” he said. “That’s for the first hundred feet. After that it’s five dollars a foot.”
“How much are the birds?” I asked.
“Thirty-five cents apiece,” he said
“Where’s the stream at?” I asked. “I’d like to take a look at it.”
“It’s around in back,” he said. “You go straight through that door and then turn right until you’re outside. It’s stacked in lengths. You can’t miss it. The waterfalls are upstairs in the used plumbing department.”
