the merchant that he gave him $40
or $40 bill by mistake and asks for
the whole change. The storekeeper
shows the man the small bill. There
upon the short changer says that
he wishes the small bill to send away.
In the excitement the buyer usually
gets his small bill and the change, for
the merchant is Immediately handed q
large bill to change in payment for
the article bought.
