『The sound of summer ～』2
Ray Bradburyの『The sound of summer running』という短編からの質問です。
“Mr. Sanderson, don’t you think you owe it to your customers, sir, to at least try the tennis shoes you sell, for just one minute, so you know how they feel? People forget if they don’t keep testing things. United Cigar Store man smokes cigars, don’t he?
Candy-store man samples his own stuff, I should think. So . . . .”
“You may have noticed,” said the old man, “I’m wearing shoes.”
“But not sneakers, sir! How you going to sell sneakers unless you can rave about them and how you going to rave about them unless you know them?”
☆Mr. Sandersonというのは、靴を売っているお店の主人です。
