Good Old Pot舊壺好用

One day, half a year ago when our boss was out,iaccidentally broke the purple sand teapot on his desk.iquickly ran outside and spent forty dollars (300 yuan) to buy an identical one. Today, while chatting my boss pointed at that exact pot saying, “I never imagined that this cheap, two dollar (10 yuan), garbage would actually be so useful.”

On vacation we visited a tourist spot that had a temple inside, so we decided to swing through. When we were buying the entrance tickets,iasked the cashier if they sold student tickets.
