   In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

  “How much is an ice cream sundae?”
  “一个冰淇淋圣代多少钱?”
  “50 cents,” replied the waitress.

  There, placed neatly 1 beside the empty dish, were 15 cents – her tip.
