It was a sunny summer afternoon when a little boy and his sister went inside a rather busy ice cream parlour. They had just finished with their exams, so what better way to celebrate the onset of summer vacations than by treating oneself to ice cream? The duo sat at a vacant table and went through the menu. After deliberating on what to order (for a long time), the siblings finally came to a consensus.
“How much is this ice cream sundae?” the boy asked, his big blue eyes wide, as the waitress approached him.
“60 rupees,” replied the waitress, nonchalantly.
The little boy then took out a few coins from his pocket and started counting them. After a brief pause, he whispered something into his sister’s ears.
Moments later, “How much is this cone of ice cream then?” the little girl inquired meekly.
“15 rupees,” she answered.
