Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it—until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.

　　To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.

　　对便宜货人们有了新的认识，认为它是让贪婪和愚蠢的人花钱的一种伎俩。
