We were in a hardware store.

“Yes?” the clerk asked.

“I need a saw,” Jon said, “an electric chainsaw.”

The clerk walked over to a wall display and came back with this orange job.

“This is a Black and Decker, one of our finest.”

“Where does the blade go?” asked Jon. “How do you put it in?”

“Oh, it’s quite easy,” said the clerk. He got a blade and fitted it.

Jon looked at it. The blade had very large teeth.

“Umm,” Jon said, “that isn’t quite the blade I was looking for.”

“What kind of blade do you want?” the clerk asked.

Jon thought a moment. Then said, “Something to cut small pieces of wood with. A hard wood.”

“Oh,” said the clerk, “how about this?”

He attached a new blade. It had fine teeth, very close together, sharp.

“Yes,” said Jon, “that’s what I want. That will do.”

“Cash or credit card?” the clerk asked.
