Oh ! My God Story NO. 73
A strange sales person
You will find many magazine shops and food shops
on the street of New York
City.
Those are all small shops.
It looks like a tiny hut
which is about 3 meters
wide and 1.5 meters long.
The magazine shop sells newspapers, magazines, cigarettes,
soft drinks and beers.
The food shop sells bagels and fruits.
There are one or two places like this in one block.
A man inside is selling things from morning till night.
There was a strange sales person in the shop near by.
He is about thirty and from South America.
He always says something extra.
He said something like this when I was about to buy a pack of cigarette.
"Brother, smoking is bad for your health."
Mind your own business.
When one customer was going to buy a porno magazine,
he said, "Don't you have a girl friend?"
This customer was offended but bought one anyway.
Oh, well....
It's New York .
I won't be surprised to find a strange sales
person.
Oh ! My God.
