English Original
A wealthy elderly couple entered a jewelry shop to buy a bracelet. After browsing many beautiful pieces for half an hour, they narrowed their choice down to two. One was very expensive, while the other was considerably cheaper.
The shopkeeper, hoping to sell the more expensive item for a higher profit, said to the wife, "Go on, spend his money. If you don't, he might just spend it on his second wife."
There was a moment of silence. Then the lady replied angrily, "I am his second wife."

一对年迈的富有的夫妇走进一家珠宝店买手镯。在浏览了许多漂亮的手镯半小时后，他们将选择范围缩小到了两个。其中一个非常昂贵，另一个则便宜得多。
店主希望能卖出更贵的那件以获得更高利润，便对那位妻子说：“买吧，花他的钱。如果你不花，他可能就会把钱花在他的第二任太太身上。”
一阵沉默。随后，那位女士愤怒地回答道：“我就是他的第二任太太。”
