Story title: Priceless
"Excuse me, how much for this red rose? I asked the florist.
"₹ 100 for one sir" he replied with a hope.
"What? That's too much for single rose. I confirm that I want only one rose and not the whole bouquet. He confirmed me back that said price is for single rose only.
OK!!
"Let's try my bargaining skills," I talked to my self.
"I will give you only 50 bucks for one. As such the roses are not looking so fresh."
"Sir, I brought these roses in the morning only. There is a shortage in the market due to marriage season." I am hardly making some money out of it. Now a days my business is down due to the demonetisations effect. I will give you the best one without thorns. Please don't bargain on rate."
"Why you want a single rose?" He throw a million dollar question.
"For my Wife" I replied.
"Then why are you debating?"
I gave up on my bargaining skills and without uttering a word I pulled out my wallet and gave him the money. I felt the price is now OK for the life's lesson. I realise that some moments in life are PRICELESS.
My happiness has doubled as I have created a special moment and payback that florist for the lesson.
