A proverb a day to brighten the day!

567a.
Wenn Sie anbieten, einen Stuhl zu kaufen, werden Sie gezwungen,
ein Bett, einen Tisch und einen Stuhl zu kaufen.

567b.
If you offer to buy a chair, you will be made to buy a cot, a table and a chair.

It is not the camel in the tent that takes more than what was originally offered to it.
Most humans do it too - without feeling a pinch of discomfort or an iota of guilt.

Wenn = If
Sie = you
anbieten = offer
zu = to
kaufen = buy
einen = a
Stuhl = chair,
Sie = you
werden = will be
