Twisted Equity
A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents
each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at
lunch time. As he passed her pretzel stand, he would leave her
a quarter, but would never take a pretzel.
This went on for more than five years. The two of them never
spoke.
One day as the young man passed the old ladies pretzel stand
and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel woman spoke to him:
" Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but
I have to let you know that the price of pretzels has increased
to 35 cents."
