Last Chicken

A butcher in a meat market, who had had a particularly good day, proudly flipped his last chicken on a scale and weighed it.

"That will be 1,500 Naira." he told the customer.

"That's a good price, but it really is a little too small." said the woman. "Don't you have anything larger?"

Hesitating, but thinking fast, he returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused a moment, then took it out again.

"This one," he said faintly, "will be 2,500 Naira."

The woman paused for a moment, then made her decision, "You know what," she said, "I'll take both of them!"
