Very expensive (saying-5)

She said ‘’ Your painting classes are very
expensive ‘’
I am used to these kind of words. I asked her ‘’
Why you want to learn art? ‘’
‘’ It’s my childhood dream ‘’ she said
‘’ How much do your shoes cost? ‘’ I asked her.
She got confused. She had no clue why I asked
that question. But she replied ‘’ five hundred
dollars ‘’
‘’ How much are you paying for each of my
classes? ‘’ I asked her.
‘’ ten dollars ‘’ she said.
‘’ Lady...You bought the shoes for five hundred
dollars. After few months you will throw them
away. You are paying only ten dollars for my
classes. Whatever you will learn in my classes,
that will be with you till your last day on this earth.
I paused one moment and asked her ‘’...Now tell
me ...which is expensive ‘’
