Read together
Husband: Good morning. I need beef for dinner, and chicken if you have it.
Butcher: Steak or mince? Lamb is fresh today too.
Husband: Steak for two, and a little mince. No lamb this week.
Butcher: Tell me the truth — grill or pan?
Husband: Either works. We will add tomato and a simple salad.
Butcher: Meat is ready. Chicken pieces are in the cold case.
Husband: Thank you. My wife asked for truth on the price too — what do I owe?
Butcher: Fair weight, fair price. Enjoy the steak and the chicken.
Husband: We will. Tomato salad on the side — dinner is set.
They spoke once more to be sure every word felt clear and useful.
Talk about it
Reflection
What meats did they buy, and what did they plan to cook with the tomato?
