- He saw the dog, liked it a lot, gave me a thousand pounds down payment with a promise to fulfill the rest of the money in a couple of days.

- So, ….

- I went as agreed to collect the money but he paid only 500 pounds while he owed me 2000 pounds.

- Why, was something wrong with the dog??

- No, the dog was fine, but you know how people are, they would want something so bad till they get their hands on it, then it is no longer precious to them.

- That is so true.
