The Clever Sign | 巧妙的招牌

English Original

The shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand new business much like his own opened next door and erected a huge sign that read "BEST DEALS."

He was horrified when another competitor opened on his right, announcing its arrival with an even larger sign: "LOWEST PRICES."

The shopkeeper was panicked until he had an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own shop. It read: "MAIN ENTRANCE."
