Saturday at the Market

On Saturday morning, Lisa goes to the market. She wants to make a fruit salad for her family, so she walks past the first few stalls slowly. At the first stall, there are many big red apples, sweet green grapes and yellow bananas.

“Good morning,” says the seller. “Can I help you?” “Yes, please,” says Lisa. “I’d like two kilos of apples.” “How many apples do you want?” he asks. “About ten,” she says. The seller puts them in a paper bag and weighs it.

“Do you have any oranges?” Lisa asks. “Sorry, I don’t have many oranges today,” the seller says. “But I’ve got a lot of lemons.” “No, thank you. I don’t need many lemons for a fruit salad.”

“Are there any strawberries?” “Yes, there are some at the back,” the seller says. They are small and very sweet. “How much are they?” “Three euros a box.” Lisa takes one box and smells it. “They smell wonderful,” she says.

“How much is everything?” Lisa asks. “Six euros fifty,” the seller answers. She does not have much money with her, but it is enough. She pays and thanks him. She walks home with a heavy bag in her hand. It is a beautiful day, and her family is waiting for lunch.
