Hello Emre! Good morning! How are you today?
Good morning Elif! I am fine, thank you very much.
But this morning I experienced a funny event at the bakery.
Really? What happened? I was very curious!
I went to bakery at eight in morning. I got warm breads.
You went early! Was there a line at bakery?
Yes! Five six people were there. Everyone was waiting for fresh simit.
People must have been hungry!
I was also very hungry! My stomach was ringing!
In big markets card and cash pass.
But in small neighborhood bakeries sometimes only cash passes!
Yes! That is why carrying cash with us is a good idea.
I came to checkout. I put my hand in my coat.
But I looked in my pocket, I forgot my wallet!
Ha ha ha! Did you forget your wallet again?
Last week you also forgot your key! You forget every day!
You are right! I stood at checkout, my face turned red!
