A true story of Mr. Hills
Mr. Hills in London bought a hedge cutter made in China. It was very small and very cheap and it worked very well.
At first he was very pleased with it. It made his hedges look smart and neat. Then one day it broke down. There was nothing he could do to make it work.
He took it apart and put it together again but still it could not work. Next he took out the booklet of instructions to see if they had any advice for him. Imagine his amazement when he saw these words written in the booklet. “No one is to touch or try to repair this hedge cutter without permission.”
What was he to do Should he have written to the manufacturers in Beijing before he had took his hedge cutter mended
Mr. Hills thought long and hard. Finally he went back to the shop and bought another hedge cutter. He put his old one in the dustbin. He thought no one would ever know what he had done.
