介绍:
Gain or Loss
In the summer, there were many power failures because of the electricity consumption.
Ramesh went to a shop to buy candles. Each of them cost two yuan. When he gave a ten Yuan note, the shopkeeper returned a five yuan and two five mao coins.
At home, there was no light unluckily. So Ramesh lit a candle, but by chance he dropped a five mao coin in the dark.
He looked around but could not find the coin. Slowly the candle burnt to half but he didn’t t find it. Gradually the candle burnt out.
So Ramesh lit the second candle and kept looking for the coin.
An hour later, the second candle also burnt out and luckily Ramesh recovered the coin.
‘’Darn it! I wasted 4 yuan for a 5 mao coin.‘’Ramesh recalled to himself.
