Just after finishing his work, Mr. Philips was going to the grocery shop to buy some bananas, but he saw a poor old lady 1 (sell)fresh bananas on the street, so it seemed 2 (convenient)to buy some from her.
The old lady charged $7 3 one kilo of bananas. “But the shop 4 I usually buy from gives them for $5 per kilo!”, Mr. Philips said. “I’m sorry sir, I cannot afford to match that price”, the old lady responded. Mr. Philips said nothing and went to the grocery shop.
5 , when he wanted to pay for bananas he picked, the cashier told him that the price per kilo was $10. He tried to bargain again, but the manager said coldly, “We do not bargain.” Mr. Philips felt very 6 (annoy)with his attitude, and decided to put the bananas back and go back to the old lady.
She recognized him 7 (instant)and told him, “Sir, I can’t match that price.” “Don’t worry, I will pay you $10 per kilo!” said Mr. Philips. “Now, give me two 8 (kilo)please!” The old lady happily packed the bananas and said, “I can’t accept $10 per kilo but I will accept $7 per kilo.

Mr. Philips left the old lady speechless with gratitude, and also recommended many friends to buy bananas from the old lady, which they did. From that day on, she made 10 much better living than ever before.
