Disha: बहुत सुन्दर है लेकिन बहुत महँगी है - ढाई सौ में देंगे?

Shopkeeper: नहीं मैडम, आप कपड़े की क्वालिटी तो देखिये, इतनी मुलायम है क्योंकि यह असली रेशम से बनी है, कोई मिलावट के बिना। हम मोल-तोल नहीं करते।

Disha: चीज़ अच्छी है लेकिन ख्याल भी तो रखना पड़ेगा वरना आसानी से खराब हो जाएगी। आप ढाई सौ में अगर देंगे तो हम लेने को तैयार हैं।

Shopkeeper: ठीक है सिर्फ आपके लिए चार सौ मैं दे रहा हूँ।

Disha: नहीं, रहने दीजिये, उतने पैसे ही नहीं है। आप साड़े तीन सौ में देते हैं तो ठीक है।

Shopkeeper: अच्छा ठीक है, यह लीजिये।

Disha: Excuse me, how much is this? This pink scarf on the right?

Shopkeeper: Here you go, you can try it on. It's Rs. 450.

Disha: It's beautiful but very expensive. Can you please lower it to Rs. 250?

Shopkeeper: No ma'am, do you see the quality of this cloth? It's this soft because it's made from real silk, no mixing. We don't bargain.

Disha: It's good quality, but it's also easily spoilt so I'll have to be careful with it. If you can sell it for 250 I am ready to buy it.

Shopkeeper: Okay, I can give it at a special price for you, for Rs. 400.
