How to Choose Best

Buy Smart!

Once upon a time, there was a shopkeeper named Tienty who ran a small store. He was well-known for selling good-quality items at honest prices. One day, a young man walked into his shop and said,

“Sir, I need the cheapest thing you have. I don’t have much money.”

Tienty thought for a moment and handed him an old knife.

“This knife is cheap, but it will break easily. If you still want it, take it.”

The young man, without much thought, bought the knife and left.

A few days later, the young man returned, upset.

“Sir, this knife broke so quickly! It was useless!”

Tienty smiled calmly and said,

“That’s the problem with buying something just because it’s cheap. It’s not worth it. What really matters is finding something that’s both cheap and good. Let me show you.”

He took the young man to the market and showed him sturdy, well-made items that didn’t cost much.

“The value of something isn’t in how little you pay, but in how well it works for you and how long it lasts.”

From that day on, the young man always looked for both quality and price before buying anything. His life became much easier and happier.

This story teaches us an important lesson, It’s not about buying the cheapest thing—it’s about buying something that’s cheap and good. That’s the smart way to shop!
