An quarium in a city in Northern China opened to the public, but few visitors came the admission was as expensive as 50yuan (RMB).The first year's business was so bleak that one could catch sparrows on its doorstep.
Eventually its owner,who was in dire need of money, had to sellit, thoug sufering a great loss,and returned miserably to the South. The new owner of the aquarium put up an ad conferring reward for advice that could save the business and lead it to boom.
One day qwoman teacher came to say that she had a way to make it brisk.As a result of her advice a great change took place_the aquarium was alwayd full of visirors,qmong whom one third were young children, and the others were their parents. three months later it began to yield profit.
the advice she offered was very simple_put a bill on the ticket office:Children are admitted free of charge. |
