Same item, different price

UNIFORM. An Ear informer went shopping for school uniforms for her children last week in preparation for today's school opening in private schools. “Sa sige nako'g pili pili, nakakita ko og polo nga pareho og material, brand ug size pero lain og presyo,” our informer said.

“LAHI”. She then asked the saleslady to explain the price difference between the two items. She got this reply: “Dili lagi na sila pareho mam. Sure ko naa gyud na'y kalahi-an.” Of course there was a difference, thought our informer, and that is the price. “Mao na nga angay gyud magbantay kung mamalit kay basin makabayad og mahal para sa barato ra unta.”
