An antique dealer walks through town when he spots a cat drinking milk from a saucer in a shop window. He looks closer and realizes the saucer is a rare and valuable antique.
Excited, he enters the shop and asks the owner, “Nice cat you’ve got there. Would you be willing to sell it?”
The shopkeeper shakes his head. “Not for sale.”
Thinking quickly, the dealer says, “I’ll give you $150 for it.”
The owner shrugs, takes the cash, and hands over the cat. As the dealer turns to leave, he adds, “Oh, can I take the saucer too? The cat seems to like it.”
With a smirk, the shopkeeper replies, “Sorry, but that dish is my lucky charm—I’ve sold hundreds of cats thanks to it.”
