Budi and a Smoking Man

One day, in a crowded bus station there is a man who smokes. As a person who cares of environment, Budi doesn’t like people who smoking and wants to warn that man. But Budi doesn’t want that man angry because his statement, so Budi warn him softly. Budi came to the man and said, “sir, how long you’ve been smoking?”. He answered, “I’ve been smoking for 20 years”.

        

        “Tell me how much the price for a smoke” the man replied, “it’s about Rp. 2000, why are you asking?” then Budi replied again, “sir, don’t you ever think. If everyday you spent only a smoke, you may get Rp. 14.000 for a week if you save the money. If a month you may get Rp. 420.000 and for a year you may get Rp. 5.040.000. Now imagine if you save the money for 20 years as long you were smoking. You may get more than a hundred million rupiah and you can buy a car, house or anything with that money”.

        

        Calmly the man said, “now, I’m asking you. How old are you?” Budi answered, “i’m 25 years old”. Then the man asked again, “Are you smoking?” Budi replied, “of course, no!”. Then the man asked Budi, “so, do you have a car?”. Budi answered “no, i don’t have”.
