Where Are The Holes?

A farmer from a village once visited a fashionable store that caught his attention. As he walked in, he gazed at the various items with amusement, taking in the unconventional offerings of the shop.

While appreciating a felt hat on display, he asked the salesman, “What’s its price?” The salesman, aware that the farmer was unlikely to make a purchase, responded, “Ten thousand rupees!”

The farmer nodded thoughtfully and then asked, “But where are the holes?” Puzzled, the salesman replied, “Holes? What holes? For what?”

The farmer answered, “Holes for the ears of the ass to stick out of the cap, of course! You don’t expect anyone but an ass to pay that price for this stuff!” The farmer’s witty retort highlighted the absurdity of such a high price for a hat, demonstrating that sometimes, value is all about perspective.
