Mandarins

Li sold oranges. Online. He didn’t even need to be there.

The phone rang.

“Ring ring” said the phone.

Li picked it up, upside down, flipped it round, noise to ear, mic to mouth.

“Good afternoon, Li’s oranges!”

“Hello, is that Li’s oranges?”

“Yes, hello, good afternoon, this is Li’s oranges!”

“I would like to buy some oranges.”

“Have you tried the website?”

“Yes I have tried the website. It doesn’t have the oranges that I want. I wanted mandarins.”

“I’m afraid we don’t sell mandarins,” replied Li, “You’ll have to try another store, online or otherwise.”

And the customer grumbled.

And Li didn’t care.

Because he didn’t sell mandarins.
