Transcript:

Violet jumps rope while Charlie Brown watches. He says, "Are jump ropes expensive?" Violet says, "Sometimes.. it all depends."<BR><BR> She says, "I got this new jumping rope on sale.."<BR><BR> She says, "I wish I new whether or not I got a bargain." Charlie Brwon says, "Here comes Lucy.. She'll tell you .. she's a real authority on jumping ropes."<BR><BR> Lucy holds the rope and says, "It doesn't seem too bad.. of course, I prefer the lightweight aluminum grips, but then the wooden grips are better than the leather ones, especially in the rain. But then, who jumps rope in the rain, ha, ha!"<BR><BR> Lucy continues, "I hear the new Reminder grips are pretty food. Of course, a lot depends on the tope itself.. the quality of the weave, etc. I'll try it out and give you my decision."<BR><BR> Lucy starts jumping and then goes faster and faster and faster.<BR><BR> Lucy hands the worn out jump rope back to Violet and says, "You've been cheated!"<BR><BR>
