Sehor tapped his snout impatiently on the floor. "No. No. No. This just won't do... the purple is too depressing".

The shop assistant rolled his eye as he took the turban back. Sehor could hardly fail to notice it. The shopkeeper's eye was right bang in the middle of his face and the size of a tennis ball. Sehor pointed coldly at the sign at the entrance "The customer is always right".

The assistant wearily turned around and pretended to pull out another turban but simply turned around and gave Sehor the same turban.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you insane? Do you think I'm too stupid to make fine distinctions in turban colours?" Sehor shouted. Before the assistant could answer Sehor exclaimed exasperatedly "This purple is too happy".

"It's the same damn turban" the assistant threw up his hands

"Maybe, but this time it's happy" Sehor batted back accusingly

"Why don't you just tell me what you want instead telling me what you don't want", the assistant pleaded

"If I knew what I wanted I wouldn't be telling you what I don't want!". Sehor slowly raised a finger and pointed at the sign again.

The assistant's shoulders dropped. He turned around to look for another turban.
