The Book

By macenable

A woman walked up to a man behind a counter and handed him a book.

He looked at it and said, “That will be four dollars.”

She paid the man and then walked out without the book. He saw her leave without it but did not call her back.

How come?

    Handing him the book costs $4?

    Not exactly.

    BTW, the image of the man behind the counter is a bit misleading.

    The man behind the counter was a librarian, the woman owed $4 in late fees for the book she returned.
