The shopkeeper was very happy to show one to tom who examed it carefully and turned to shopkeeper saying,"There isn't a lamp on this bicycle, but there was one on the bicycle in your advertisement."

"Yes,sir."answered the shopkeeper,"but the lamp is not included in the price of the bicycle. It's an extra."

"Not included in the price?"Tom said angrily, "but that's not honest. As the lamp in the advertisment, it shoule be included in the price you gave there."

"well,sir!" answered the shopkeeper commently "There is also a girl on the bicycle in the advertisment, but we don't supply one of them with the bicycle either."
