One day, a mother and daughter came to the dentist to treat their daughter's tooth. Then they went to a
cafe and the little girl ordered a banana cake for herself. After the cafe, they had to go by taxi, they called a
taxi. When they went outside to wait for a taxi, it started to rain and they didn't have an umbrella. The
daughter offered to go to the cafe again, but her mother refused her. And an intelligent old man
approached them with an interesting proposal. He offered to exchange the umbrella for $1. Mom at first did
not want to agree, and then agreed. But, mom was embarrassed that he turned from an old man with a
stick into a fast young man, and they decided to follow him. As it turned out, he came to the bar, bought
whiskey for that dollar, then took an umbrella, and went to change it for money again. And my mother
realized that he was a very smart swindler.
