Miss Wang of Thailand went to Hong Kong for a holiday. Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven?t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I?m willing to sell them to you cheap — only $400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didn?t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Don?t buy from him. He?s not an honest man. He?s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I?m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler — one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real. He said it cost around $900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him $400.

These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back.
