New York, USA, this is a normal day.
Recently, the heat in New York City has been unappealing. Several high temperature warnings have been issued in the city, mainly about the environmental change caused by global warming.
His son David is unhappy recently. As a mother, Jane is going to take her son to the department store.
The department store is full of things, but for the extremely depressed David, these things have no attraction.
Passing a counter on the first floor, David saw a huge round ball in a high cupboard with different animal dolls in it. David was curious: "is it a business activity?"
Jennie glanced up in a less interested way: "probably."
However, when she saw her son rarely asked, she bowed her head and asked, "are you interested? Let's go and have a look. "
She led David over, but there was only one shop assistant. Seeing them coming, she said warmly, "Hi, guest, what can I do for you?"
David pointed to the animal dolls: "are these dolls?"
The clerk blinked: "yes, but they can only be your friends, not dolls."
Jennie asked absentmindedly: "can you show it to us?"
"Sorry, once this doll is taken out, you must buy it. They are intelligent, equivalent to an intelligent robot. Once opened, it means giving them life."
What the clerk said sounded ridiculous to her, but she said it seriously, as if she were not joking.
David soon got interested. "Is it really intelligent? What can it do? Like other dolls, it knows some knowledge, and then it's gone? "
"No, honey, I can guarantee that they will become the people who know you best. They are very smart and absolutely not comparable to other robots on the market."
No matter how good she said, Jennie was still alert enough. She asked, "how much is it?"
The clerk smiles, his face is not red, heart does not jump: "5000 dollars."
All of a sudden, Jane and David turned pale.
5000 dollars, that's an extremely expensive price, especially for a robot doll.
This is ridiculous!
"Are you kidding?"
Jennie felt her screams were suppressed and turned into a sense of absurdity, but David was intrigued by what the shop assistant said. He had a wistful look in his eyes: "Mom, I want to use my lucky money if you are too expensive."
In foreign countries, it is not that there is no lucky money.
At least every time his grandparents came, he would give him a sum of money, so he had his own little vault.
"Listen, David, 5000 dollars is a big problem. Mom will never buy it for you because it's beyond our capacity, and it's just a doll. Don't respect my pocket money if you want to
She was an open-minded mother. Since David wanted to, she let him, but the consequences needed to be borne by him.
This is also a common way for American parents to give their children absolute freedom of choice.
David nodded. "I know."
Thinking of this, he pointed to a tiger doll in the cupboard: "I hope this is true, or I will report you to the Consumer Association."
