Peter flask was driving to work when he realized that it was almost gas.
It was payday and he lived from paycheck to paycheck, it was also about money. His credit cards were burned, in part due to the price of gasoline, which is now about $ 4 a gallon.
He had no other choice than in the gas station where he filled out the rule and I ask you a favor.
Just as he rode alongside the pump, gas-hungry SUVs sputtered to a halt. He was completelyempty.
Stepped out and for the first time, went even within the plant instead of pumping and running.
"Hello there," said the man behind the counter, which happens to be the usual hard-working immigrants in India or Pakistan. "How are you today?"
"Very well, thank you," said the man in blue replied and offered me his hand. "How much?"
"Actually, I fill 'er up!"
"Load or cash?"
Oone, "Pistons said," but I must ask you to do me a favor. "
"What?"
"Can the gasoline today and pay tomorrow?" Then to justify the request for a good cause and to determine its reliability, he added: "I buy gas here all the time."
"Oh," replied the servant, "What do you mean?"
"Well, today payday. When I put my check in the bank, it is clear at night. So I'll be a lot of money tomorrow."
"There is no moneynow? "
"Not now."
He extended his hand. "Credit cards are?"
"If not now," Peter admitted.
"I'm sorry," he said of the servants, with a payment from another buyer of petrol, and told the driver happy: "Thanks." Then raising his eyes, no, he continued, "There is no money now, there is no gasoline today."
"But I need to work to come," said Pistons him, "so I can get my salary."
"Sorry, does not allow you to pump petrol free.I would lose my job. "
"And if I did not fill them up?" My job is not that far from here. "
"I'm sorry, I can not help," said the hard work, among which sixty seconds a rider really lucky.
"It's not pressed as, I ask for a full tank of gas", Peter. "It's just a gallon?"
"You have to pay," said the servant to him.
"Oh, come on," Peter pray. "What about me Spotting a liter?"
"What is aquarts? "
Pistons highlights the case of milk. "As a gallon of milk."
"The pump pumps only gallon," the cashier told him.
"It's simple math," Peter told him. "Let's say, a gallon costs $ 4 There are four liters in a gallon. So all you need is a dollar is worth."
"I can not. I am not the owner."
"Ah," sighed Peter. "But you must be able to me a bit '. How about a beer?" Wies him back to the case of milk. "Howhalf and half. "
"I'm sorry, sir," replied the man, "I said, no money, no gas. Try along the way."
"I can not. I finished gas, when I moved here."
"You're out of gas?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then you must move your car off the road.'re Blocking the pumps."
Only then clear how to enforce his will, Peter. "I will not insist on this SUV. It 'too big."
"You have to. It can not remainthere. "
"I'll tell you something." Just give me a small ounce of gasoline, and lead me astray. "
"How much is one ounces?"
Peter was puzzled. There was nothing in the case of dairy products, which was only one ounce. "A second," he said, and the soft-drink cases accelerated. He returned with a can of Diet Pepsi. May "see this? There are twelve ounces it." Then, showing what can the twelfth, he said: "About thismuch. "
The man looked at the possible Indian or Pakistani. Peter said he was confident of being able to cope. Finally, the people have not been in India and Pakistan are usually experts in mathematics and science.
"I'll tell you something," said the man reached into his pocket. "I want to make one of my dollars to the fund. Promise me tomorrow at two dollars."
"You got it," said Peter. "Thanks."
Interest that the thought of 100% for loans on one day was high enough, it was Petergrateful to discuss. So off he went to pump, not just one ounce, but a liter of gasoline, now with interest rates, calculated at $ 2 or $ 8 per gallon.
