Rachel walked up and down the aisles at Costello's Watercraft. She wanted something she and her husband, Arnel, could enjoy during their summer at the family lake house.The clerk pointed to a brand-new canoe. "This is our top seller. Dependable, good reviews, comes with a ten-year warranty."But while Rachel was inspecting the canoe, another customer approached her."Are you sure you want to spend all that money on a canoe? I've got an old pedal boat I could sell you for a quarter of the price," he offered.Later that day, Rachel and Arnel went to the man's house to check out the pedal boat. It had a lot of dents, and the man admitted that he hadn't taken it out on the water in three years. But the price was too good to beat."The boat would be sold in the condition it's in," the man warned. "All sales final."But Rachel and Arnel were already talking about the fishing gear they could buy with the money they would be saving. They bought the pedal boat immediately.When summer arrived, Arnel took the boat for a test run on the lake, while Rachel watched from the shoreline. The boat hardly went fifty feet before the front started sinking. Rachel's summer fantasy sunk along with it. She remembered the brand-new canoe she'd passed up and felt foolish. The pedals stuck as the boat sunk deeper, and Arnel had to swim back to shore.At least the fishing rods worked. Rachel and Arnel spent the summer catching perch and shaking their heads over their mistake.Which of the following best describes the main theme or lesson of the story?If you don't do your research, people will take advantage of you.Trying too hard to save money can cost you.Deep down, people always know what is truly best for themselves.Submit
