In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table, A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?”
“Fity cents,” replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of is pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquied.
Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient,” Thirty-five cents”,she said brusquely.
The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
