Exact Money

Bea: How much is the old clock?

Stall holder: That one is eighty.

Bea: Eighty? It says sixty on the little card.

Stall holder: Ah, the card is from last week. But for you — sixty.

Bea: Thank you! Okay. I have thirty here…

Stall holder: Thirty. Good start.

Bea: And another thirty. That makes sixty.

Stall holder: Sixty! Half in big coins, half in small ones.

Bea: I counted it twice this morning before I came.

Stall holder: On the bus?

Bea: At home. I like to have the exact money. It makes things easy.

Stall holder: Exact money, counted twice. My favourite kind of customer.
