Buying Licorice
Three children entered a traditional herbal medicine shop together. The first asked for five hundred dong's worth of licorice.
The herbalist laboriously climbed a ladder and brought down a jar from the highest shelf. After serving the child, he climbed back up and put it away. Then he took the money and asked the second child what he wanted.
"Five hundred dong's worth of licorice, please."
Annoyed, the herbalist struggled up the ladder and brought the jar down again. To avoid the same problem, he asked the third child, "Do you want five hundred dong's worth of licorice too?"
The boy shook his head. Reassured, the herbalist climbed up, put the jar back, and asked what he wanted.
"A thousand dong's worth of licorice, please."
