I completely understand, Twilight. Yes, what was I thinking, setting the price at five bits? I must’ve been out of my mind!” Trixie turned to the blackboard on the stand, wiped away the number with her foreleg, and replaced it with a new one. “There! That’d be three bits!” “No, I have a different idea. I don’t really need those nuts, but I know a… friend who could have them. I’ll make an offer for you.” Twilight opened her saddlebag. “Two nuts for two bits.” “Damn…” “What was that?” inquired Twilight. “Uhh, nothing.” Trixie coughed. “Since you are my first customer today, you can have the entire bag for free!” Twilight shot Trixie a curious look. “The entire bag?” “Yes.” “Completely for free?” “Yes.” Convincing, isn’t it? → Accept the gift?
