Pay- per

A little girl aged 4- 5 came into the office and wanted to buy an ice cream bar. "How many pay-pers is it?," she asked one of the ladies at the front desk. "It is $2.00," was the reply. "I only have these quarters and no pay-pers," she said. The kind lady (Susan) made up the difference out of her own pocket, and the little girl went back happily to the family pool where she had been swimming. A few minutes later she returned. "My momma wants to know if you have shrimp cocktail sauce." "Yes, we do," was the reply. The girl yelled out the front office door, "Mommy, they do have cocktail sauce. How many pap-ers is it?" she asked. "It is $3.00," was the reply. A short time later she appeared again to learn if the office store also sold horseradish sauce and learned that they did not.

She appeared once again to purchase the cocktail sauce. "Ah only have one pay-per," she said, "even though I told Mama that I needed three." The lady took the pay-per and gave the girl the sauce and appropriate change. She had given the lady a twenty dollar bill. Ah need some pay-pers, too. Happy travels.
