What did Jacky actually pay for?

One day Jacky went to town to buy new clothes. First he tried on a pair of pants. He didn't like the pants, so he gave them back to the shopkeeper.

Then he tried a shirt which had the same price as the pants. Jacky was pleased with the shirt, and he left the shop.

Before he climbed on his donkey to ride home, the shopkeeper and the shop-assistant ran out.

"You didn't pay for the shirt!" said the shopkeeper.
"But I gave you the pants in exchange for the shirt, didn't I?" replied Jacky.
"Yes, but you didn't pay for the pants, either!" said the shopkeeper.
"But I didn't buy the pants," replied Jacky. "I am not so stupid as to pay for something which I never bought."
