Saturday, I went with my mother to the market. I wanted a new school dress and a new pair
of shoes. When we reached the market, I saw the exact dress that I wanted. ‘Mom, look.
That is the dress I want. ’I pointed at the dress. ‘Let’s ask the shopkeeper how much the
dress costs’
‘The dress costs 20,000 Frw,’ the shopkeeper confirmed. My mom had very little money. We
couldn’t afford the dress. My mom asked the shopkeeper to reduce the amount of the dress.
She explained that she also needed shoes for me. The shopkeeper asked mom how much
she could pay for the dress. Mom said, ‘I can pay 10,000Frw for it.’ The shopkeeper agreed
and sold the dress at 10,000 Frw. I was very happy.
We moved ahead and I also found the pair of black shoes that I needed. The shoes were not
expensive, so my mom bought them. I left the market feeling very happy and thanked mom
