You Can’t Believe Everything You Are Told
After pancakes and hash browns they were going furniture shopping. Well, bed shopping actually. She had been wanting a new bed for a long time. Now was the time to buy. The store was having a huge sale. Everyone who spent a certain amount of money on furniture was getting a new TV.
She and her husband finished breakfast at the local pancake house and headed for the furniture store. The bed of her dreams was standing right there in front of her. It was a beautiful gleaming cherry wood sleigh bed, just as she had always dreamed of owning.
This bed was carved on the headboard, the foot-board and both sides. There was a curve that started at the end of the headboard and foot-board, meeting in the middle in an elaborate carving. It was more perfect than she had even hoped to find.
She felt like shouting with joy as she went through the motions of looking at a few other beds. The salesman asked if they wanted designer bedding. She tried lying on several mattresses. They felt hard and that was what she and her husband preferred. They declined the designer name but did buy a brand name mattress and box spring set.
Oh look at that twin sleigh bed over there she exclaimed. There was another furniture salesperson who claimed there were no none manufactured in that size. She likely didn’t want to make the effort to show them around. Well, she probably didn’t think they could afford the expensive bed that they would now buy. She lost a nice commission they agreed.
She would have to remember to tell the neighbor next door about the good looking loft bed on sale here. They saw it on their way to the front desk. The neighbor wanted one for her young son. He needed more room to set up a racing set in his bedroom.
At this time she was so excited about finding that lovely bed that she forgot all about the free television. But her husband hadn’t. He was as excited about the big screen TV as she was about the bed. They spent about twenty minutes hearing all the details about the different television sets. The high definition was the one they took home.
The TV was in a large cardboard box. The mattress and box spring were protected from dust by plastic. The salesman made out the sales slip and they paid. The cherry bed was in a cardboard box, ready to be assembled at home. After picking up a mounting device that would mount the TV up on a wall at their home. This was one fantastic and successful shopping trip.
