A rich man and his wife went into a shop to buy a bracelet. Neither of them was very young. They looked at a lot of beautiful bracelets, and after half an hour there were two which they liked very much, but they had not yet been able to choose between them. One of them was very expensive, and the other was quite a lot cheaper.

Of course, the shopkeeper wanted to sell them the more expensive one, because then he would get more money from them, so he said to the lady: “Oh, go on. Spend his money. If you don’t, he will only spend it on his second wife.”

For several seconds nobody said a word, and then the lady said angrily: “I am his second.”
