I don't want a whole head, the customer demanded. Just half a head. Are you going to sell me half a head?
Wait a minute, said the clerk nervously3, Let me ask the manager.
She went back where the manager was stamping prices on canned goods. Hey，she said，there's a big，stupid-looking buffalo（水牛）out front who wants me to sell him half ahead of cabbage. Shall I tell the fool to...She said，wants to buy the other half。
