Sarah : Anybody here?

Shop- keeper : Do you need any fruit? Our fruit is very fresh today.

Sarah : Are they juicy? I want to use them for juice.

Shop-keeper : They are ripe and juicy, so are the watermelon.

Shop- keeper : Very well. Anything else?

Sarah : I also need a loaf of sliced bread and a pound of coffee.

Shop- keeper : What kind of coffee? Drip or instant?

Sarah : Give me the coarser grind. We make coffee in a percolator at home.

Shop- keeper : Certainly!

Sarah : Thanks. How much will that be? I’ll give you a cheque now.
